10 July 1819 The Agents stated that John Baxter Esquire of Idvies had proposed to borrow Two thousand five hundred pounds Sterling upon a Transfer to the balance of an Heritable Security for the Amount affecting Idvies and which belonged to the Trustees of the late Mr Kerr of Dumbarrow: that as Mr Gourlay’s Bond to the Trustees over Scotstarvet for this amount was to be paid up the Agents submitted to the consideration of the Trustees whether this sum should not be lent to Mr Baxter upon the above Transfer. The Trustees approved of this security and dispensed with any search of the records and as Mr Baxter had the views of paying up the money soon they agreed to delay infefting on this transfer for a twelve month hence. 30 September 1819 ..George Heggie Esquire of Pulessie, writer to the signet proposed to borrow from the Trustees £2,500 say two thousand five hundred pounds Sterling, being the sum contained in Oliver Gourlay of Craigrothies Bond to the Trustees and which had lately been paid up. There were two sums effecting Pulessie amounting to Six thousand pounds but as the property was of such greater value than this the Meeting authorise their Factors to lend Mr Heggie the sum required upon the Bond and Disposition in Security over Pulessie Provided Mr William Berry of Tayfield shall join as Collateral Security for regular payment of the Interest & provided also that the Bond shall contain a Clause of Sale and that no further securities shall appear to be due from the records than the present One and the two prior Ones for Six thousand pounds. The Meeting approve of the temporary advance of fourteen hundred Pounds which their Factors made lately to Mr Heggie to account of this loan and for which Mr Heggie & Mr Berry granted their joint Note.
