註釋A legal document relating to a dispute between William Lord Braco (William Duff, Earl Fife, 1697-1763) and the architect William Adam (1689-1748). In 1741 Adam was forced to initiate legal proceedings against William, Lord Braco, to retrieve unpaid fees arising from his work at Duff House. The house, described as "a medieval castle in baroque dress", had been built between 1735-40, with Adam acting as contractor and architect. There was no formal contract, and client and architect disagreed on costs for carved stonework. Adam sued and the matter was initially resolved in his favour. However, Braco dragged out the proceedings, which were not resolved until just before Adams's death.
