Valuation Roll, Buittle Parish: 1959-60
The following is extracted from the Valuation Roll for the Year 1959-60, detailing ownership and occupation of Houses and Farms in Buittle Parish. Woodlands and Shootings etc. have been omitted unless occupied by persons other than those shown as having an interest in the land.
The local custom of replacing the 'c' in the Mc names (as M'Caig etc) continues at this late time, even in official documents such as this.
An entry in the final column generally means that the house is tied to the landowner, i.e. that the inhabitant occupies the house as part of his/her employment, and pays no rent. An entry as tenant indicates payment of rent to the proprietor, with occupancy not necessarily dependent on employment.
The abbreviation C-D stands for Castle Douglas.
