Conclusion
This chapter has examined the professional groups of notaries and advocates in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Aberdeen, the men of law who shaped local early modern legal culture.
It has examined the size of these communities, their activities and how they were trained for admission to their profession. It has shown how these professional groups differed from those in other Scottish towns, particularly those working in the capital city of Edinburgh. It has also shown that some men of law would seek admission to both professions, meaning that the town’s two professional groups of men of law were not entirely distinct. Finally, this chapter has shown that by entering these professions, men of law could become members of the town’s elite classes. In this, the master-apprentice bond, which was the route into the profession of a considerable number of men of law, was a long-lasting and influential mechanism to build networks and professional success.
