Andrew Love, goldsmith and burgess

“My name is Andrew Love, and I am a goldsmith. I make jewellery and other fine work for wealthy customers. I’m a burgess of Perth, which means I’m an important member of the burgh community: I’m entitled to trade here and do my work here freely, I have legal rights in the burgh that visitors don’t have, and of course I also have the responsibility to uphold the safety and security of our community. . I own several pieces of land in Perth, and I support the Church by donating the rents for some of my land to different altars and foundations. I’ve donated 5 shillings and 4 pence each year in rents for my croft near the fuller’s mill to the Carmelites at Blackfriars, to have them sing an annual obit mass for my family’s souls, and 6 shillings and 8 pence in rent from my land on Kirkgate goes to the Carthusian charterhouse. I also support the altar to St Eloi, patron saint of goldsmiths and other metalworkers, which I founded in St John’s Kirk.”
