Types of Tenure
There have been other forms of tenure:
- Booking is a conveyance peculiar to the burgh of Paisley but does not differ essentially from feu.
- Burgage is the system by which land is held in Royal Burghs.
- Blench holding is by a nominal payment, as of a penny Scots, or a red rose, often only to be rendered upon demand.
- Ward, the original military holding, was abolished in 1747 (20 G. II. c. 20), as an effect of the rising of 1745.

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or tenure:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
