Kinnear Esqr (Provost) James Tindal Esqr (P. [Procurator] Fiscal) 017.03; 017.04 "At which time Stonehaven was erected into a burgh of barony is not known, Very probably the erection was contained in a Crown charter in favour of one of the Earls of Marischal, which is not now to be found. Its existence as a burgh was at an early period recognized by the Legislature, and an act of Parliament in 1607 c. 10, ordains "The said Burgh of Stonehaven to be in all time coming the head Burgh of the Sherriffdom of Kincardine'. In 1624 William Earl Marischal the superior entered into a contract with the feuars of the town, by which it was agreed that two resident burgesses of the burgh, greatly presented by the inhabitants and chosen by the Earl should be bailies, and should have power 'to choose their own members, and to hold courts and to descern anent their own civil and common affairs'. The late Viscount Keith purchased the superiority of the town in 1797, and after his death the old constitution, which since the Rebellion in 1715, had been in a great measure in abeyance, was restored by his trustees in whom the superiority is vested.

[Page] 229 - 30 - New Stat Act [Statistical Account]) "Herring fishing is now prosecuted with enterprise at Stonehaven, where curing establishments have been formed" (Ibid 224) Cotton and linen weaving is carried on pretty extensively at Stonehaven, under the agents of several houses at Aberdeen. A good many females find employment in this way, and of the men so employed in the winter time, some become fishermen in summer, particularly during the herring season" (Ibid 227.) The manufacture of coal gas was lately commenced at Stonehaven by a joint stock Company, with a capital of £2500. The works, though on a limited Scale, are very complete, and the gas produced is of the best quality, and is now used in lighting almost every shop and dwelling-house in both old and new town". (Ibid 227) "There is a weekly market at Stonenaven, on Thursday when butler, cheese, poultry, eggs, &c are exposed for sale. On that day there is a market for grain, during its season, attended by the farmers of the adjoining district, and in winter and Spring, for cattle.

According to tradition, it was appropriated for the internment of those who died of the plague - an idea which is so far borne out by traces of an inscription upon one of the tombstone dated 1608, which shews that the person commemorated had either died of, or during the time of the Pest(ilence)." (New. Stat Act [Statistical Account] - 446-7) "These tomb stones were discovered some years ago in a garden a few paces of their original site. The tradition of the place is, that they were erected to the memory of those who had died of the plague, and it is supported by the fact, that on the oldest stone, although much defaced, the words 'of pest' at the upper left hand corner, are still quite legible." (Black Book of Kincardineshire P. [Page] 178.) Here lyes ane Honest Man Magnus Tailiovr Seyman gvha Depairtit in November - of Pest.
