Hi Merlot,

It's a great source! Had a look on it late last night and tried to post on TS myself but system was too slow.

Anyway, I've found one of mine on the Horse Tax thingy in Dunnipace and one in Cumbernauld.

Not a great amount of information but one had three horses and the other had one...every bit of info counts! =D>

Regards,
Anne H

Hi Lorna,

When you click on the picture of the book at the left of the screen the whole page comes up and is behind the wee toty corner bit...click on the +- buttons to enlarge to see in full and be sure to keep your finger on the left click thingy of your mouse...the little hand will enable you to move the image around to see it all. :)

Regards,
Anne H

Hi Lorna

The horse tax images require a Flash Player version 10 to work - maybe you do not have Flash installed, or perhaps the version you have of it is out of date?

Just incase that is the problem, a bit about Flash and a link to where you can download it is here:

Best wishes
