INTRODUCTION<br />
Volume 8A of the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>Minutes</strong> opens in the Spring of <strong>1716</strong>. The previous<br />
volume ceased abruptly on 1st August 1715, when the country was in a state of upheaval<br />
during the Rebellion of 1715.<br />
Normally the councillors and magistrates were elected at Michaelmas, however,<br />
because of the unrest, no elections were held that September. In February <strong>1716</strong> a temporary<br />
magistracy was appointed by the Duke of Argyll, and in March a special Warrant was issued<br />
by George I, empowering the Duke of Douglas, Alexander Duncan of Lundie, David<br />
Halyburton of Pitcur, John Scrymgeour of Tealing,and John Scrymgeour,jun. of Tealing, to<br />
proceed with the election of councillors and magistrates, which they did on 26th April <strong>1716</strong>.<br />
In September <strong>1716</strong> another election was held, thus bringing <strong>Dundee</strong> back into line with the<br />
customary practice of holding annual elections at Michaelmas.<br />
The following index therefore, covers a period of 18 months, i.e. from April <strong>1716</strong> to<br />
September <strong>1717</strong>, and includes the elections held in April <strong>1716</strong> and September <strong>1716</strong>. The<br />
manner of identifying entries in the <strong>Council</strong> <strong>Minutes</strong> is dictated by the fact that pages of the<br />
<strong>Minutes</strong> Book are not numbered. Identification is by the date of the minute in which the<br />
entry can be found. Spelling of proper names was not consistent within these minutes, and for<br />
the purpose of the index the practice was adopted of using the modern equivalent with<br />
variations shown in parenthesis.<br />
As a number of the terms used in the index are no longer in common usage a limited<br />
glossary has been provided below.<br />
