Notes about Alexander Burgess

Building leases were very rare in Scotland. Instead, the feu system was prevalent in most Scottish towns, by which land was granted in perpetuity in return for an annual sum of a fixed amount. This system bore some resemblance to fee-farm rents, which were prevalent in some parts of England. The feuar had to make payments to the owner of the land called "casualties". In 1874, it was made illegal to contract for indefinite casualties in feu charters.
