To inherit immovable property such as land, heirs had to prove to an ''Inquisition'' (essentially a jury of local people) their right to inherit. The records granting these rights are called ''retours'' or ''services of heirs''. Records of actual transfers of land are called ''sasines''. You will find more information about these records in the [[Scotland Land and Property|Land and Property]] section of the Wiki. | To inherit immovable property such as land, heirs had to prove to an ''Inquisition'' (essentially a jury of local people) their right to inherit.
