Edmund Burt, also known as Edward Burt (died 4 January 1755), was an English author and a rent collector for the British government in Scotland (Stevenson, 2004). In 1725, he referred to his wife living in London (Stevenson, 2004). On 31 May 1725, he was appointed Receiver General and Collector of Rents on the unsold Forfeited Estates in Scotland, and from 24 June, received £400 per annum to cover salary and expenses (Stevenson, 2004). Virtually all the Scottish estates forfeited after the Jacobite rising of 1715 had been sold except for those of Glenmoriston and Seaforth. Burt was concerned with collecting rents on them until they too were sold, in 1730 and 1741, respectively. His work involved close co-operation with General George Wade. However, he had no part in the building of the "Wade roads" in the Highlands.
