The Town Council Seals of Scotland: Historical, Legendary and Heraldic (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Town Council Seals of Scotland: Historical, Legendary and Heraldic
Ection 55 of the Burgh Police (scotland) Act 1892 ordains that: (i) The S Commissioners shall be a body corporate, having a Common Seal. The Seal shall bear a device to be fixed on by the Commissioners at a meeting to be held for the purpose. Again, Section 5 of the Town Councils (scotland) Act, 1900, ordains that: A Town Council shall be elected for every Burgh under the provisions of this Act, and shall be designated by the corporate name of 'the provost, magis trates and councillors of the Burgh, and the Common Seal will be used and adhibited under their authority and subject to their directions. Under this latter Act the Commissioners thus became Town Councillors, and it was necessary to alter the legends round the Seals accordingly. In most cases this has been done, but a few still retain the word Commissioners. All Royal and Parliamentary Burghs used Seals long previous to the passing of the Act of 1892 which they still retain, but it is now necessary for all municipalities to have a Common Seal.
