Reference No	CA/18/3/3/G
Title	Aberdeen 1712 Stent Roll: Green Quarter
Description	The Stent Roll is a valuation of properties, mills and fishings within the burgh which 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 area in the Green Quarter dates from 1888: the Green Quarter boundary runs along the west side of Shiprow, Union Street on both sides westwards from Shiprow and St Catherine's Wynd, south side of the Netherkirkgate, Correction Wynd, Backywnd to Gaelic Lane, along the south side of Gaelic Lane to Belmont Street and Union Street, Union Terrace to the Chapel there, thence to Diamond Street, Golden Square, Huntly Street, Summer Street to Little Chapel Street, taking in the south side of Little Chapel Street, Chapel Street to Union Street, Thistle Street to Victoria Street West, and bounded on the south by the Inner Marches.
