. . "Edmund Burt, also known as Edward Burt (died 4 January 1755), was an English author and a rent collector for the British government in Scotland (Stevenson, 2004). In 1725, he referred to his wife living in London (Stevenson, 2004). On 31 May 1725, he was appointed Receiver General and Collector of Rents on the unsold Forfeited Estates in Scotland, and from 24 June, received \u00A3400 per annum to cover salary and expenses (Stevenson, 2004). Virtually all the Scottish estates forfeited after the Jacobite rising of 1715 had been sold except for those of Glenmoriston and Seaforth. Burt was concerned with collecting rents on them until they too were sold, in 1730 and 1741, respectively. His work involved close co-operation with General George Wade. However, he had no part in the building of the \"Wade roads\" in the Highlands. In August 1725, Burt accompanied General Wade at the disarming of the Seaforth Mackenzies at Brahan Castle near Dingwall, when he was promised a punctual payment of rents. However, on 28 September, Wade was obliged to sign an order authorising military support to help him extract the promised rents, which the Seaforth tenants had failed to deliver. A letter by a magistrate of Inverness dated 1 January 1726 reveals that Burt was then a Justice of the Peace, part of the 'haughty, keen and unsupportable government of these military and stranger judges set over us' (Salmond, 104). In 1729 he was appointed manager of the lead mines at Strontian in Argyll, and he continued to be employed in the Highlands for some years after 1741 (Stevenson, 2004)."@en . . . . .
