Titles, policy papers, Leases, Rentals, Registers of Demands, Specifications for building works and other papers, largely 1772 -1921, undated, of the Sutherland Estates.
The papers described here form the second deposit of Sutherland Estates papers for the years 1861-1921 although there is some later material. 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. There are also extensive series of leases and Specifications of building works to be carried out on properties belonging to the Sutherland Estates. Other material includes papers relating to Helmsdale Harbour, Sutherland Technical School, and household inventories of Dunrobin Castle, 1907.
For family and estates papers of the Scottish properties of the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland up to the death of George, 2nd Duke of Sutherland in 1861, see Deps.313-314.
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. Papers relating to the Sutherland family’s Scottish Estates formerly held at Staffordshire Record Office have been transferred to the National Library of Scotland as Acc.12173.
