Wee cover update à l'Alex. Background/frame is a scan of the cover to 'Gazetteer of Scotland' (1847). Coloured in photoshop. He's done a sterling job of it so far 😁
Why 🏴's law don't gel with 🏴's, hence the #TreatyOfUnion demanding our laws remain separate. This letter was written in as a huge debate on English Courts taking jurisdiction over Scottish one's was in progress due to Orr Vs Ewing inheritance case.

@BCCletts So technically Scotland was paid £100,000 to take on a share of England's £20m debt - & that's not what the debt would translate as now - literally £20m worth of debt as of 1707.
