-Transcription tips: Think laterally. Andrew Hardie's spelling in his account book in in HCA 30/636/3 is particularly unusual. Colin (a half Scot) is convinced Hardie is a Scot, but has no proof, other than the intriguing fact that Hardie dictated his will, whilst sick and living in the "Scots'house" in Middleburg, after the ''Abraham'' had arrived there from Barbados.
