In ordinary cases parties were permitted to appear by a representative or substitute, called a procurator, who had been formally appointed to win or tyne the cause. The term procurator was at first held to be sufficiently wide in its meaning to include any one patron or friend, to whom a litigant committed the management of the proceedings in an action.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume, the earlier of the two-volume official History of Aberdeen, provides a comprehensive picture of the development of the two historic burghs of Old Aberdeen and New Aberdeen over their first seven centuries, from 1100 to 1800. As early as the 14th century, Aberdeen was: recognized as one of the 'four great towns of Scotland'. Early settlement, the growing townscape and social change over the centuries are all traced. Aberdeen's contacts with the sea and other towns overseas and its economy and politics, both local and national, are assessed. And Aberdonians themselves, the vital forces behind the history of the two burghs, are highlighted: their faith and culture, homes and health, and their education and pastimes are all rediscovered.
