1696 Poll Tax Records, Arthur in Aberdeenshire
|
|
In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several
unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 years of
age and not officially a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list
still in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons.
