The Table of the Duties and Fees to be taken for Weyage
This broadside is a list of dues and fees for the weighing and storage of goods at Edinburgh's weigh-house. It is dated 16th November 1680.

This is an interesting document for those interested in economic and trade history. There are separate lists of dues for 'Home-ward Goods' and 'Forraign Commodities'. Examples of the former, also described as 'In-land goods', are listed as wool, butter, cheese, lint and hemp.

'Forraign Commodities' are likely those that have come to Edinburgh by the sea. The broadside refers to lint, iron, 'hopps', 'hards', 'ware', hampers and trunks.

Additionally, there are different rates for different categories of individual. Distinction is made between 'burgesses', 'un-free-men' and 'strangers'.
