Transcriber's notes
The road reference in the description for Boat of Kemnay I have rendered as a Statute Labour road. Roads in the 19 th century were created and maintained through Commissioners under laws relating to the contribution of local landowners of labour and materials. This arrangement was called 'Statute Labour'. Not a very efficient system since it was resented by the landowner's tenants who were required to provide the labour. The law was changed in 1795 when Statute Labour was abolished and the labour was commuted to a financial levy on landowners to Turnpike Trusts. New roads, turnpikes, started to be constructed. However according to the New Statistical Account 1834-45 there was still a significant number of Statute-Labour roads in existence at that time. In Chapel of Garioch parish, the adjacent parish to Kemnay but including Fetternear, there were still 35 miles of them against 4 1/2 of turnpike.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
