No other copy traced, either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828.

There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes, and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826, so this item would appear to date from before then.…
