General Notes:
"Thomas Nicolson of Cockburnspath was an advocate central to Aberdonian legal life and practice in the early seventeenth century. Initially an advocate in the Court of Session in Edinburgh, he came to Aberdeen to serve as judge in the local ecclesiastic ('commissary') court. He was later named on a royal commission which reintroduced law teaching to Aberdeen, and was named as the first master of civil law ('civilist') thereafter."
