MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES VALUATION ROLLS GB584/VR Name of Creator: Midlothian County Council Assessor Administrative History: The Lands Valuation (Scotland) Act 1854 required each authority in Scotland to produce a record of valuation of landed property in their area. Assessors for the authorities produced annual rolls each Whitsunday, usually around 25 May. These recorded the name and designation of proprietor, the tenant, the occupier, the rateable value of the property and a description of the property itself including its location and boundaries. Valuation rolls do not list residents of the property. Scope and Content: This collection of valuation rolls covers the historic counties of Edinburgh and Midlothian. The county boundaries changed over the time covered by these rolls and therefore coverage and format changed throughout the period.
