The feu-charter and water-rights were granted by Calderwood of Polton in 1768. Through the inexperience of partners in the business the result was a fiasco, Guthrie and Arbuthnot became bankrupt in 1772 and the mill was rouped in 1774. The whole transaction involved the great banking house of Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo in a considerable financial loss. 340 11$8eng$a1768-1772$xa1768a1772 350 1$0acti$8eng$apaper makers 515 1$0actv$aPolton Mill$z1768-1772 801 $aUK$bNLS-SBTI$c20080207 830 $aSBTI original entry: ARBUTHNOT and GUTHRIE Polton Mill 830 $aWarning: the SBTI information was converted from unstructured format by automation.
