SCHEME OF ALLOCATION between and among the Trustees of His GRACE THE DUKE OF FIFE K.G., [Knight of the Garter] K.T., [Knight of the Thistle] and purchasers from him or their Successors, of the Old Valued Rent of the portions of the Fife Estates lying in the Parish of King Edward and County of Aberdeen.

January 1913


The Valued Rents of the following lands in the Parish of King Edward formerly belonging to the Duke of Fife, are as follows:-
The lands of Gairnieston, Fishery, Montcoffer, and others -- £1983.6.8
The lands of Meikle and Little Gorrachies -- £61.0.0
[Total] -- £2044.6.8

The above sums are allocated below in the same proportions as the Stipend formerly payable by His Grace previous to the commencement of the land sales was allocated in the State of Teinds prepared by Mr. H. Inglis Lindsay W. S. [Writer to the Signet] in 1903, and the scheme of Locality which followed upon it. An allocation made on the immediate basis of the real rents would no doubt be more strictly in accordance with the principle, but in many cases the amounts of the real rents at the dates of the sales are not readily ascertainable. And as the allocation of the Stipend was made on the basis of the real rents, it follows that the present one also proceeds on that basis, though not directly.
