Information on Vehicle Registration records Vehicle Registration From 1904 until the setting up of the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Centre (DVLC) in 1978, local councils in Scotland carried out road vehicle licensing. For more information about the licensing of cars and other road vehicles, and surviving historical records, see below. Motor Car Act 1903 The registration of road vehicles had been envisaged in the last decades of the nineteenth century, primarily to aid the policing of speed limits laid down in acts of parliament concerning roads. However, a registration system for motor vehicles was not implemented until 1903, under the Motor Car Act. In Scotland, registration was a function of county councils and town councils of the larger burghs (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow). From 1904 registers were kept of all motorcars and motorcycles (either in combined or parallel registers) and licenses were issued to drivers (although no driving test was required). Number plates had to be attached to the front and rear of each vehicle, and these carried a combination of letters and numbers, which identified the county or burgh of registration. In Scotland, all registration numbers included the letters G, S or V. Roads Act 1902 In 1919 vehicle registration in the UK was placed under the supervision of the newly formed Ministry of Transport, but the administration system was left in the hands of county and burgh authorities under the Roads Act of 1920 (in Scotland the town councils of Coatbridge, Greenock, Kirkcaldy, Motherwell & Wishaw, and Paisley became licensing authorities). The Act confirmed the letter S as a vehicle identifier specific to Scotland, but the letters G and V were no longer to be applied solely to Scottish registrations. Separate registers for motorcycles were abolished. Record keeping changed. In addition to the bound register(s) of cars, motorbikes, and licenses issued, registration authorities were now to keep a record card for each registration mark, and a file on each vehicle. Although this made vehicle identification easier, the triplication of record keeping led to local variation in how records were kept, and in most cases the quality of information entered in bound registers began to deteriorate, as local authorities put most effort into keeping and updating the file and card records. National Registration System 1969 The 1969 Vehicle and Driving Licenses Act set up the centralised (and computerised) Driving and Vehicle Licensing Centre (DVLC) in Swansea, South Wales. The transition from local record keeping to national registration was supposed to have been completed by 1975, but local record keeping in some areas continued until 31 March 1978. The transition period coincided with the reorganisation of local authorities in Scotland (and England and Wales) and this was to have a serious effect on the preservation of the historical registers and other records. www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives - 2 - Survival of local registers Local registration offices had been instructed, by the Department of the Environment to transfer their surviving vehicle files to the DVLC in Swansea and to transfer registers to local archives services. However, during the transition period in the mid 1970s, few Scottish local authorities maintained a professional archive service, and those that did were heavily involved in the reorganisation of local government. Those local archive services that did exist made attempts in the 1970s and 1980s to locate and preserve surviving local registers and other registration records with varying degrees of success. Some managed to acquire them directly from local vehicle taxation offices. In many cases the survival of records from former counties and burghs was depressingly poor. Some registration offices may have destroyed records during their winding-up. Others may have been casualties of the reorganisation of local government administration. Others appear to have been transferred to Scottish police forces, either directly from local taxation offices when they closed, or via police forces, when these disposed of records in the 1980s.

In 1801, at a meeting of the Edinburgh Aberdeenshire Club, Sir William Forbes expressed a need for a survey and map of Aberdeen and Banff to assist in the development of improvements such as roads and bridges in the counties. This idea was given unanimous support and a committee was set up to bring the proposal under the consideration of the county gentlemen (AC9/8/1/5). On 11 October 1806 printed proposals for publishing a map by subscription from a survey by John Ainslie were sent to potential subscribers (AC9/8/1/14). This attempt appears to have been unsuccessful and on 10 August 1809 James Robertson, land surveyor, wrote to Sir William Forbes informing him that he would soon be completing the fieldwork for his survey and map of Northumberland and would be available to survey and map Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, as requested by Sir William Forbes three years earlier on seeing Robertson's topographical survey and map of Jamaica (AC9/8/1/15). Sir William Forbes duly informed the Commissioners of Supply of Aberdeenshire who decided to investigate this proposal further as Alexander Sutherland, land surveyor, whom they had employed to undertake the task had left the country (AC9/8/1/16).

    Administration and Divisions

    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

The discussion provides a historical context for the tax lists and includes an analysis of the distribution of hearths, kilns, smiddies, saltpans and furnaces as indicators of wealth, social status and evidence of social, economic and agricultural development. Comparison is provided with other Hearth Tax lists and with contemporary records such as the poll tax returns, and also from later records such as early census information. The Hearth Tax is also compared with different Wigtownshire records from earlier and later periods (Wigtownshire Charters, parish records and the statistical accounts).

A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

    Registers of Scotland Keeper-Induced Registration

    REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND KEEPER-INDUCED REGISTRATION CONSULTATION DOCUMENT October 2015 © Crown copyright 2014 KEEPER-INDUCED REGISTRATION CONSULTATION OCTOBER 2015 Purpose 1. In May 2014, the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland was invited by Scottish Ministers to complete the Land Register of Scotland in 10 years. There followed a public consultation (the 2014 consultation) by Scottish Ministers on how the statutory levers in the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 (the 2012 Act) could be used to enable that target to be met. There was general agreement to the suggestion in the consultation that the statutory powers for what is known as ‘keeper-induced registration’ (KIR) should be piloted to inform its use and that a further consultation be held on the detailed approach to, and strategy for, KIR. Those matters are the focus of this consultation document. A glossary of terms is available on our website at https://www.ros.gov.uk/KIRconsultation Completing the land register 2. The Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (the 1979 Act) provided for the establishment of a land register under the management and control of the keeper. This is a transparent, plans-based, public register of rights in land. From 1981, land registration began to replace the recording of deeds in the General Register of Sasines and became fully operational in all areas of Scotland in 2003. The system of land registration underwent significant transformation in December 2014 when the main provisions of the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 were brought into force, effectively superseding the 1979 Act. The land register involves the creation of a title sheet that sets out the details of ownership of the property, any securities or other charges over it, any rights or title conditions, and also a depiction of the legal extent of the property through mapping of the legal boundaries on the Ordnance Survey (OS) based cadastral map (the cadastral map is a map of Scotland on which the legal boundaries, and other features, of individual registered properties are shown).
