    Default Burgess Ticket Dunfermline?

    Can anyone tell me what a Burgess Ticket is?
    I have found a document for a relation dated 1895 Dunfermline.

    Hope thats not to vague but it's all I have.

    Thankyou

    A Burgess Ticket was required before anyone could trade in a Scottish Burgh. Have a read here for a fuller explanation and an example of how it worked in Maybole, Ayrshire.

    You may also find this information from the National Archives of Scotland useful.
