Islay Rental List(s) 1541
« on: Monday 02 June 14 11:52 BST (UK) »
Can someone tell me where I can access this?  I'm interested in a reference to the McPherson name that is included but I need to know where, neighbours, and the "landlord".  It has been used by others but I can't find any online reference to where it is available.

If the reference on http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~steve/islay/rawdata/islayfamilies.htm is correct (look for note 5), then the rental is available in The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, vol. 17, Edinburgh, 1897, 633-41.

Vol 17 (and other volumes) are certainly in the National Library of Scotland - http://discover.nls.uk/default.ashx?q=&search-box-submit=go&searchtype=1&cx=004988112283334510717%3Alqhse3e39qi&ie=UTF-8  and probably other major libraries

As they are stored offsite an advance order is needed

See http://www.nas.gov.uk/guides/exchequer.asp for background

Many thanks.  So glad somebody knows!
This is a very significant source for my research project.
