Stirling.co.uk Interactive

Hi, everybody! I'm writing from Spain and need some help.

I am reading a book about Stirling. It is about some records of the Incorporation of Skinners concerns an apprenticeship, they speak about the Skinners’ Mailing and I quite don’t understand the relationship of Skinners with Mailing.

Please, can anybody explain what does it mean "The Skinners' Mailing" in Stirling? I understand the meaning of Skinner but the word of Mailing sounds estrange to me by the context.

The context in the book is as follow:

“The Skinners' Mailing. An interesting possession of the Incorporation was a piece of land known as the Skinners' Mailing. It is situated on the north side of Upper Craigs, opposite the junction with Burghmuir, and in shape is a long triangle-“

I love Stirling.co.uk

Thanks a lot!
