Description | The Stent Roll is a valuation of properties, mills and fishings within the burgh that were subject to payment of cess, or land tax. On 9 April 1712, the Town Council ordered that a valuation be made of these properties under the terms of 1712 Land Tax Act. The resulting Stent Roll lists the proprietors of taxable land within each quarter, their occupations and the assessments to be paid towards the land tax. The earliest description of the Even Quarter dates from 1888. The Quarter began at the east end of Park Street, along the west side of that street, the north side of Justice Street, Castle Street, the east side of Broad Street, Gallowgate, and Mounthooly, including all intermediate streets.
