The main series of estates papers for these years have been deposited as Acc.10225. Included here are the Rentals for the Dunrobin Management previously thought to have been lost. The Registers of Demands for building works and payments, 1861-1923, are of particular interest.

Other material includes papers relating to Helmsdale Harbour, Sutherland Technical School, and household inventories of Dunrobin Castle, 1907.

After the marriage of Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland in 1785, the estate was managed from Trentham and London with local Factors based in Sutherland. Policy papers and material relating to Sutherland Head Office are held with the archive of the family’s English estates at Staffordshire Record Office. Family and policy papers post-1785 deposited in the National Library of Scotland have been transferred to Staffordshire Record Office.
