This law case is a dispute between James Coutts, a 'sheep grazier in the Grampians' in Aberdour, and William Turnbull of Muirtown 'at the foot of the Grampians'. The hard winter of 1803 caused Coutts to pasture his sheep on Turnbull's land but the two parties disagreed over what verbal agreement had been reached as to the adjoining birch-plantation, which had resulted in seizing of sheep, and a claim for penalties in earlier court action. A penned annotation dated 1809 records that penalties were restricted to 150 merks.
