It examines the history, types, and legal intricacies surrounding this feudal custom. The author delves into the origins of heriots, tracing their evolution from military equipment to monetary payments. Heriots are divided into two main categories: heriot custom, which is due by virtue of immemorial usage, and heriot service, which is reserved by a particular grant or lease or is claimed by prescription. The book explores the legal distinctions between these types and discusses the circumstances in which each is applicable. Furthermore, the book covers various aspects of heriots, including the parties from whom they are due, the methods of their collection, and the legal issues that may arise in heriot-related disputes. It examines the impact of alienation of tenancy and the division of heriotable lands on the multiplication of heriots. Through meticulous research and analysis of legal sources, the book sheds light on the complexities of heriot law. It offers a valuable resource for legal professionals, historians, and anyone seeking to understand this historical and legal practice that played a significant role in the feudal system.
