Wills before 1875 were proved in Commissariot
Courts. The areas covered by Commissariot Courts pre 1800 in Scotland relate
to Church jurisdiction and not county borders so more than one Court can
cover a county.
The Commissariot Court of Edinburgh had jurisdiction
for the whole of Scotland and abroad and should also be checked. These
Testaments are for personal property only.
The Library has a complete set of Indexes for pre 1800
Commissariot Court Wills.
