SEAL: I've told my mum about how you tricked me and she says it's really unfair!
ARCHIVER: Not now Seal. We're working.
SEAL: Yeah, working at ruining others' self -esteem...
ARCHIVER: Oh come now, have a Twix.
SEAL: Ok.
Today's fab seal is another burgess ticket, this time for the burgh of Wick in favour of Robert Baikie of Tankerness. The date is 4th November 1878.
The Wick seal is lovely, a wee townscape of buildings beside the shore.
