Lands, per Original Roll, 1683	Rent per Orig Roll	Present Names of Lands	Divisions	Present Proprietors	Valued Rent as Divided	Cumulo Valued Rent
Brought forward	5150 0 0		more than in the original valuation roll. No evidence can be found among the Records of the Commissioners of Supply to shew how or when the increase of L.100 origin- nated; but it is believed that it was in consequence of a purchase in the year 1693, by the proprietor of Ardownie, of part of the Lands of grange. Instead, however, of a corresponding abatement being made from the valued rent of Grange, these lands have stood at their original valua- tion as above, while the lands of Balgillo, Forth, and Fishings, have paid cess for L.100 less than they ought to have done. By Decree of Division, dated 20th May, 1766, the above cumulo of L666 13s. 4d. for the Lands of Ardownie, is divided as follows: Ardownie, and Ashludie and Meadows, holding of the Crown, Baldovie, holding of a subject superior,	Sir James Ramsay, Bart.	530 2 10	666 13 4
