Original 1787 multi‑page handwritten Scottish legal document, created in Glasgow, written in period cursive script on laid paper with an embossed paper seal. The document records a formal legal agreement involving members of the Yuille family (a well‑established Scottish surname) and William Shordridge (also spelled Shortridge/Shordrige in period records), along with multiple witnesses including Richard Hayles, John Miller, Daniel Stafford, and Robert Miller.

The agreement contains extensive legal phrasing typical of late‑18th‑century Scottish contracts, including covenants, marriage‑related provisions, rents, and enforceable financial obligations. The parties agree that the “Provisions of the Articles… relating to the Marriage of their Heirs and Assigns” are to be fulfilled, and that yearly rent shall be “due and payable… upon the Banks of Cannickfield or any other place convenient within the Villages of Hannington.” The document further notes that “Execution may be enforced for non‑payment,” reflecting the binding nature of the settlement.

The final page includes the signatures of the involved parties and witnesses, along with an embossed seal confirming its legal standing. The handwriting, structure, and legal language are consistent with Scottish marriage settlements and property covenants of the 1780s, which governed inheritance, land use, and financial responsibilities between families.

All pages are original to the same document and remain legible, with expected age toning, folds, and edge wear. A strong example of 18th‑century Scottish legal documentation, ideal for collectors of historical manuscripts, genealogy, Scottish history, or antique handwriting.
