Registers of Scotland (RoS) Registers of Scotland (RoS) is the national authority charged with maintaining various registers, chief among them the Register of Sasines (the Sasine Register) and the Land Register of Scotland (the Land Register), each concerning land interests and rights. The organisation is led by the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland; for the Keeper’s remit, see Functions of the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland: Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia [17]. RoS looks after these records on behalf of the public. Sasine Register Created by the Registration Act 1617, the Sasine Register dates from 1617 and serves as a public ledger of deeds connected to land throughout Scotland. Its role was to safeguard rights in land by enabling those rights to be placed on public record. Administration is carried out regionally, with deeds concerning property rights entered in the relevant county register. Indexes for

Searches are a vital component in the examination of any heritable title in Scotland, and no conveyance ought to settle without them. Findings usually derive from public records or registers, often enhanced with material drawn from a range of sources. Typical repositories include: Land Register Register of Sasines Register of Inhibitions Companies House Local Authorities where relevant Carrying out searches is a specialist, exacting and highly technical discipline. Since the mid-19th century, the legal profession has preferred to entrust this work to professional searchers and to rely confidently on their expertise. The seller’s solicitor will usually request the searches. As a matter of routine, they are commissioned early in the transaction to allow time to address any adverse findings. Certain searches must be current on the date of completion, so update searches are ordered immediately before
