Administrative HistoryAs a provision of the Finance Act 1910 the staff of the Inland Revenue surveyed every property in Scotland for the purposes of ascertaining the value of all land in the country. Boundaries were marked on specially printed 2nd edition Ordnance Survey Maps, along with assessment numbers referring to the corresponding entries in the Inland Revenue field books, where the names of owners, tenants and occupiers, charges on the land, valuations and other particulars were recorded.
Related MaterialThe maps and field books are held at the National Archives of Scotland (ref.IRS51-88 and IRS101-133). Highland Council Archives holds an incomplete set of working copies of the maps held at the NAS.
