Personal and household accounts earlier than 1712 are also included (for those from 1712 on see MS.9968). The series of factory accounts runs from Martinmas 1690 to April 1783, but several accounts and many vouchers are missing. Vouchers which do not fit into the factor's account have been placed after the account and its related numbered vouchers. The papers are not indexed in detail after 1700. During much of the period 1694-1727, the second and third baronets were minors, and the estate was run by Captain James Menzies of Comrie and Christian, Lady Menzies, in conjunction with other tutors.
