Note 334 — Chapter VII · THE THANAGES AND THEIR EXTINCTION.

Chartulary of Aberdeen, vol. i. p. 360. These services consisted mainly of the obligation on the tenants to cut the proprietor’s corn. They continued to be exacted from the small tenants in many parts of the north-eastern Lowlands, under the name of Bonnach or Bonnage, till late in the eighteenth century. Each tenant had to give three days’ labour annually, which were called his Bondage days.—Stat. Acc., 1433, vi. 146.
