Original records relating to early-modern Arran are sometimes difficult to consult, so printed surrogates are here made available . A selection of rentals and other estate papers between the mid-sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries, from the archives of the dukes of Hamilton and Brandon and other repositories, are transcribed, along with a calendar of wills and testaments and other commissary court records relating to Arran before 1780. Together they provide details of the people, places, ecology, landscape, agriculture and everyday life on the island between medieval and modern eras.
