By a solemn instrument of the 15th October 1553, confirmed under the abbot's seal and the common seal of the monas- tery, Abbot Donald and his brethren resolved that, with Divine help, they would lead regular lives, ruling their manners according to the reformers of the Cistercian order. As susten- ance, they devised for themselves and their guests a daily and yearly provision, for the administration of which four or six of the brethren were, along with the cellarer and bursar, to be appointed annually. To each friar there was granted a daily allowance of one pound (sixteen ounces) of wheaten, and a like quantity of oaten bread, with two quarts of beer. The sum of £13, 6s. 8d. was provided to each monk as an annual allowance for flesh, fruit, and other necessaries. Each monk was besides to receive yearly four stones of cheese, with an ample supply of poultry and salmon. For vestments there was a grant of fifty- three shillings and fourpence each year. To the abbot was to be submitted a statement of accounts at least twice a year, while the surplus revenue was to be expended under the direction of the prior and auditors. To this indenture are appended the names of the abbot and brethren, who, including Peter Trent, the steward, numbered seventeen persons. The members of the monastery next proceeded to elect certain officers, when they constituted as prior Thomas Hamilton; Viii INTRODUCTION. as sub-prior, William Baxter ; as cellarer and bursar, John Lawson ; as under-cellarer, Sir Thomas Cowle ; as chanter, Sir Alexander Anderson; and John Fogow, elder, as sub-chanter. To each were granted the usual perquisites of office. In the same instrument the abbot and chapter made provision for the entertainment of guests, including friends of the brethren and religious persons who might arrive at the convent in the abbot's absence.^ As the accommodation in the abbey was evidently circumscribed, a portion of the tenantry undertook to accommodate the convent's visitors. On receiving from Abbot Donald, in 1559, a charter of the lands of Galloraw, Eobert Alexander, his wife and son, became bound to build and hold ready for the reception of the convent's guests a large hall and chambers, with well-appointed tables ; a cellar stored with wine and victuals ; also a stable with straw, hay, and oats. In this charter guests arriving on the sea-coast of Angus are named specially. In his charter of the lands of Causayend, which was granted in 1558, William Eay and his heirs became bound to maintain a sufficient house and stabling, with meat and drink to be sold to servants of the monastery when they were abroad. Tor the entertainment of guests provision was secured in 1538, and afterwards in 1551, in the lease to Mr Alexander MacBroke of the abbot's principal seat at Campsie Craig.^ In addition to a moderate rent, MacBroke bound himself to keep 1 This provision may have had some reference to what might have occurred during the recent protracted absence of the abbot. It a2)pears from the Rental Book that Abbot Donald proceeded to France some time in 1551, and remained till Whitsunday 1552. - The Linn of Campsie is situated in the parish of Cargill, about seven miles to the south-west of the abbey. The Linn is formed by the river Tay falling over a dyke of basalt which bisects the district. On the south side of the Linn is Stobhall Castle, an ancient residence of the family of Drummond, and on the north side Taymount, the romantic residence of Mr Charles A. Murray. INTRODUCTION. IX in repair the abbot's mansion at Campsie, consisting of a hall, chapel, chamber, and kitchen, together with a bakery and brew- house. He engaged, on twenty-four hours' notice, to provide for the "abbot, brethren, and famyle" four feather beds and four other beds convenient for servants, along with towels and table-linen, broom and other fuel. He also pledged himself to furnish pots, pans, and other cooking and culinary utensils, and further to provide wax for Saint Adamnan's Chapel; also a sufficient " roUar " (rower) for a boat to be used by the abbot or monks when they chose to enjoy the sport of angling in the river. The abbot and brethren possessed town residences (hospitia) at Dundee and Perth, these towns being each about fifteen miles distant from the monastery. At Pentecost 1469, the hospice at Dundee was let to William Tulloch, a condition being that on arriving at the place, the abbot and brethren should enjoy their wonted privileges. A garden attached to it was protected by walls, which the lessee was bound to keep in repair. In 1542, this hospice yielded a rent of 13s. 4d., and its occupant was bound to supply all necessaries for beds, table, and kitchen, with kail and herbs, and also to have a stable and two cellars. One of the two hospices at Perth, situated in the Speygate, was, in 1549, granted in a feu-charter to George Brown, perfumer, on condition that he kept the building in con- stant readiness for the granters and their successors. In the stipulated accommodation are included a hall and chambers with four beds, vessels, and napery, two cellars for provisions, and stabling for eight horses. This hospice, in 1542 and 1549, realised a rent of 13s. 4d. ; the other, which appears to have been situated immediately beside the Cross, had four booths. In 1542 it yielded a revenue of £6, 6s. 4d., its lessee being John Merschell, who also held some land beside the Market X INTRODUCTION. Cross, on the north side of Market Street.^ Another booth, standing in the corner of the hospice beside the Cross, was separately let for 26s. 8d. Besides his mansion at Campsie (I., xlv.), which was on one occasion granted for occupation to a lessee of the fishings, houses were at times reserved for the abbot at Little Perth. Accommodation seems also to have been pro- vided at Dalvany and Dunkeld. In the Preface (xlvii.) are enumerated among the possessions of the abbey the churches of Alvah, Banffshire ; Airlie, Glenisla, and Mathie. Forfarshire ; and Bendochy and Possoway, Perth- shire. Leased generally to laymen, these churches were con- siderable sources of revenue. In 1547, and again in 1557, the church of Alvah was let to Sir Walter Ogilvy and his spouse. Dame Agnes Hume, at a money rental of £74, besides a pay- ment of ten merks " to the stall in Aberdeen," and an allow- ance to the vicar of ten pounds a year, with manse and glebe. The parish church of Airlie was, in August 1550, let to the vicar-pensioner of Airlie, Sir John Smith, on a rental of twenty-four pounds ; he further consenting to pay all ecclesias- tical dues, and to maintain the fabric. To Master David Camp- bell and his assignees were let, in November 1557, the teind- sheaves, profits, and oblations of the church of Glenisla, at a rental of eighty pounds and for payment of other dues. Thomas Kennedy, in October 1553, obtained a lease of the church of Mathie, at a rent of one hundred merks additional to the vicar's fee and other dues. The church of Bendochy was, in 1462, let to David Blair of Benachty (Bendochy) for the annual payment of £20, with all ordinary expenses. In the second volume the parish clerk and Lady-priest of Bendochy are mentioned frequently. In 1511 the church of Fossoway, in three parts 1 II., 77, 206. In the latter reference there is an allusion to the ancient castle of Perth. INTRODUCTION. xi of its fruits, was leased for one hundred merks to Patrick How- brone and his sons.^ In the leases of Adhory and Soutarhouse (I., 204, 224) there are allusions to the ancient practice of " riding the marches." In the lease of John Campbell of Soutarhouse, dated 26th Novem- ber 1557, there is a reference to a "perambule" or perambula- tion between the abbey and that of Scone, with special regard to the pasturage of twenty-six head of cattle and of horses in the muir of Monkell. It is worthy of mention that the deter- mination of the marches between the lands occupied by the various tenants was sometimes settled by arbitration or by agreement among the tenants themselves. When Herbert Turnbull of Middle Drimmie was accused by George Turnbull of Easter Drimmie of "ryving out of certane faldis of corne land " from the commonty, in the first instance " certane honest men " were chosen in the " debate," and adjudication was finally given by the lord abbot (II., 130, 131). Tenants were bound to keep or defend their marches. In granting those who held feu-charters corporal possession of their portions, a ceremony was observed, essential to the completion of their titles. A bailie-depute of the monastery attended on the land, and there legally invested the feuar by handing to him portions of "earth, tree, and stone," or when mills and other buildings were conveyed, portions of "thack and duffat," that is, of thatch and sod. Feuars were bound not to dispose of their portions without ^ In the *'Kental" of 1542 (II., 204) the several churches are reported as producing the rents undernoted : Alveth, £88 6 8 Glenisla, 80 0 0 Mathie, . . . . . . 66 14 4 Airlie, . . . . . . 24 0 0 Bendochy and St Adamnan's Chapel at Campsie, 70 0 0 Fossoway, . . . . . 66 14 4 xii INTRODUCTION. in the first instance giving to the monastery an oj^portunity of purchase, and they were not to dispose of their lands to persons of higher rank than themselves. Tbeir successors were to pay double feu-duty at the first year's entry, while attendance was sometimes pledged to the three jAeas of the monastery or the three courts which the bailie or principal judge held annually. Of the abbey stewards, two are at a later period frequently named, Peter Trent and Sir John Hammill. Sir John was latterly Prebendary of Kippen. The abbey physician did not reside in the monastery. On the 21st May 1554, Alexander Turnbull, who belonged to a family above the average importance of tenants, received the lease of a portion of land in recompense of service as mediciner." By his lease he became bound at all times " to do his cure," the brethren finding him " sic stuff as might be needful." It was further stipulated that he would not practise his craft at Keith- ock, the people of that barony probably employing a physician selected by themselves. Among the convent's ordinary retainers were the baker, brewer, fowler, foresters, bullock -herds, storemasters, land- stewards, gardeners, and warreners. On the 1st September 1550, Symon Wilson, described as "brewer of the Lord Abbot," was assigned three acres of land at Balgershow. In 1541, and again in 1547, John Soutar in Millhorn was constituted fowler; he became bound to deliver into the hands of the cellarer what fowls were " slain " " by himself or his assistants. In remuneration he was to receive for a wild goose, two shillings ; for a crane or swan, five shillings ; for a partridge, eightpence; and for a plover, dottrel, curlew, wild duck, red-shank, lapwing, teal, and other small birds, fourpence each. If he failed in diligence, or kept back any portion of his INTEODUCTION. xiii fowling, he was, for each offence, to pay a fine of thirty shillings. Henry Brown, in Westhorn (II., 203, 241, 254), obtained higher remuneration — three shillings for a goose, and six shillings and eightpence for a crane. In 1549, James Hering with his two sons received the forestership and keeping of the woods of Drymmie." It was stipulated that they should "keip the samyn fra thameself, servands, and tenantis, and fra all vtheris at thai may stop at thair vter powar, exceptand to the vphald of the said grund alanerlie, vnder the pane of ane vnlaw of grene wod."i It was further required that they should faithfully discharge their duties to the "Lady-priest of Bennathy," and the boatman of the river Isla. In the first, as well as in the present volume, fre- quent references occur to the woods and forests in possession of the abbey, which were jealously guarded from the intrusion of tenants and their cattle, and from the trespass of " outmen." Part at least of the forest of Campsie was defended by walls erected by the tacksmen of the neighbouring lands and fishings (I., 237, 242). Other woods or forests mentioned are those of Cally, Forthir, and Glenprosen, Inverwick, and Murthly in Athole; and reference is made to a forester in Strathardle. Some- times, however, pasturage was allowed in the woods, and, under the direction of the officers of the abbey, tenants were permitted to obtain trees for building purposes. In one case (L, 201), where tenants were responsible for the defence of the forest, the " unlaws " were to be divided among them for their " trouble." Towards the forester's better remuneration, contributions were exacted from the tenantry. The forester of Glenbrichty in Glenisla became bound in 1558 to keep and herd as many 1 This provision has reference to the Act of Parliament, passed in 1535, which decreed against the destroyers of greenwood, by cutting, peeling, burning, or felling, £10 as a penalty for the first offence, £20 for the second, and death for the third. xiv I^^TRODUCTION. sheep as the abbot might " pies to put to him ; " besides paying a money rental and restricting the number of cattle to be fed by him in the forest ; or in the event of exceeding that number to share their profits with the abbot. At Pentecost 1470, the office of studarms or keeper of bullocks and black cattle, was conferred on one "Maknychol" and another, together wdth a lease of the lands of Forthir, at a certain rental including half-a-stone of butter to be used in the convent at the six annual feasts. In the " stodhirdrye," William M'Mcholl and John M'Nychol and his grandson were con- firmed in 1557, when it would seem the office had become hereditary. With reference to the rent in butter, it is interest- ing to learn that " fresh butter " on six feast-days was an early exaction from the Forthir tenants, and that a plate of butter was to be supplied by tenants in the pastoral district of Athole. In the pastoral districts there were storemasters. Their duty w\as to enter in "a store book" the number of sheep belonging to the monastery fed on the different lands ; also an account of the rent in kind paid by the tenantry. The land- officers empowered to see that the tenants fulfilled the condi- tions of their leases, are frequently mentioned in both volumes, and what is probably a complete list will be found in the separate rental of 1542 (II., 181-204). They were five in number, and to each was allotted a separate district. These divisions were — the district above the Isla and Ericht ; Persie, Cally, and Drimmie ; Glenisla ; Athole and Mar ; Glenboy, Kincreich, and Little Perth ; and the Carse. Horticulture was actively promoted. In 1542, David Howie- son held a lease of three gardens belonging to the monastery, from which he agreed to furnish to the abbot and brethren "kail and herbs for fifteen days in his turn." He undertook to cultivate parsley, beet, and lettuce, and to supply to the warden INTRODUCTION. XV onions and " bow-kaill " or colewort ; also half the produce of the fruit trees. He further agreed, as did the other gardeners, to rear " eschis " (ash trees) ; ^ carefully nurturing them till they were four or five years old. He was to prune the trees and hedges, to repair the stone-fences, to preserve the alleys, and to keep open and clear the pools and water-courses. He con- sented that he would " nocht lat ane craw big within the bundis." On obtaining a renewal of his lease at Carsgrange in 1549, James Jackson promised to render service by preserving the trees, keep- ing clear the ditches, planting young trees, and watching the orchard against the intrusion both of beasts and robbers. If in any point pertaining to " ane trew and gude gardner " he proved unsteadfast, he was thereupon to " tyn his rycht," that is forfeit his holding. The " warandar of conyngar," or keeper of the rabbit-warren, is occasionally mentioned in the earlier Eental Book. In receiv- ing, in 1475, a life lease of two acres in the Grange of Kethyk, Gilbert Ea undertook to keep the " conyngar fra all scath and peryl, and promofe and put yt to al profit at is povar." Hotel accommodation was not overlooked. For example, in September 1557, Alexander Baxter consented to conduct at Keithock a hostelry by the " biggin of houssis, chameris, and stablis, for the ressaving of strangeris honestlie," and by pro- viding " to thame hors meit and mannis meit." In their feu-charter of the lands of Bogside, dated 22d April 1557, Thomas Ogilvy and his wife, Janet Fraser, agreed to keep in constant repair and use a malt kiln, " with meat and drink to be sold to the abbot and convent, and their tenants and servants travelling between the lands of Glenisla and the monastery." To this charter were appended the common seal of 1 Of ash wood were constructed bows and arrows, which were used in fowling and otherwise, till the close of the sixteenth century. XVI INTRODUCTION. the chapter, also " the privy seal of the queen, and the manual subscription of Mary, queen-dowager and regent of the kingdom." The privilege of vending bread, wine, and ale, was gTanted to a portion of the tenantry. Special permission to engage in baking and brewing, also in general merchandise, was allowed to the convent's burgh of Keithock. A common alehouse per- taining to the mill of Keithock was held in special protection. Contrary to an opinion generally entertained that rotation of crops and the use of manure are modern improvements, we find that both were recognised by the monks at Cupar. In his charter of the lands of Galloraw, dated May 1558, Kobert Alexander was promised, for the manuring of his lands and croft, " all the dung in the common stables, with ashes and dust from the convent workshops and courtyards." But a portion of ashes was to be " reserved by the convent for young plants." On Alexander's lands the east park was granted to the husband- men or tenants, on condition that they would sow the field two years in succession; and that when the fruits of the second year were gathered in, they would prepare it for raising broom to be used at the monastery. The park was to remain as a broomfield for seven years, the tenants being allowed to mow the grass only, while the broom was reserved for the " hearths and ovens of the abbey." After seven years the soil was to be restored to cultivation. Somewhat similar regulations were laid down at an earlier period (I., 142, 143, 147, 173, 219). Corn-mills propelled by water were established in every district; and although their maintenance was sometimes im- posed on the tenantry, yet it was " the old custom," as early as 1447, that they should be repaired by the lessees, on whom also fell the burden of conveying the millstones and conserving the water. " Thirlage " to the mill of the sokyn or district was enforced. It is described in most leases as INTRODUCTION. xvii " doino^ debt to the mill." This debt consisted in the miller's right to a fixed quantity of multure, which in the lands of Keithock is described as " the ane-and- twenty corne," doubt- less the twenty-first sheaf, or nearly five per cent, of the produce. Mills for pressing or fulling cloth, styled "walk-mills," ex- isted at Keithock, Balgersho, Kincreich, and other places. To these mills thirlage was unexacted. In 1550 the widow and son of William Walker obtained in lease the " walk-mill " of Kincreich, their family name being doubtless derived, like the English synonym, Fuller, from their occupation. The ancient custom of "herezeld" was recognised, if not strictly enforced. According to usage, on the death of the tenant, the ''herezeld" or ''heriot," which was the best horse or ox on the farm, might be claimed by the landlord. As early as 1483, a tenant in Athole is bound to pay a herezeld in event of his succession on his father's death (I., p. 231). William Forbes, bailie of Murthly in Mar, had the privilege of the here- zelds in the district under his superintendence (I., 244). In several of the later leases the convent reserved " all herezelds of each pleucht-gang which happen to become vacant;" and on other occasions, " all herezelds of the men dwelling within the lands," or the " herezelds of them that labour the ground for the time." In allusion to these claims by rapacious ecclesi- astics. Sir David Lyndsay, in his " Satyre of the Three Estates," composed in 1535, adopts this pungent strain: ** Wee had ane meir, that caryit salt and coill, And everie ilk yeir, scho brocht us hame ane foill. Wee had thrie ky, that was baith fat and fair, Nane tydier into the toun of Air.

In their lease of the barony of Glenisla, dated 16th November 1552, David Ogilvy, and his wife, Margaret Campbell, engaged to " nourish a leish of good hounds, with a couple of raches " (sleuth-hounds), and to be ready at all times to pass to the hunt with the abbot or his bailies. Tenants whose holdings adjoined the river Isla, or other streams, were generally bound to provide a boat and fishing tackle for the use of the friars. In their lease, dated 1544, John Pery of Laidcassie, and his wife, Mary Talow, agreed "to uphauld ane ele-ark and the stand thereof as it salbe delyuerit to thame, and lelely and trewly to delyuer the fische to ws and our successoris." As stated previously (I., xxvi.), rents were paid in money, service, and kind. The money rental was ordinarily reckoned in pounds, shillings, and pence, being the usual currency ; but occasionally "crownis of wycht" and ''crownis of the sone" are mentioned. Being of the standard weight, the former coin was 1 Sir David Lyndsay's "Poetical Works" (Laing's edition, 1871), Vol. ii., pp. 200, 201. The impost of herezeld fell into general disuse about the close of the seventeenth century, but it is met with at Inverness so late as 1738. INTRODUCTION. XIX of the value of thirteen shillings and fourpence. The " crown of the sone," so designated from bearing a sun as the mint mark, was a French coin representing the value of fourteen shillings ; but weighing actually one grain less than its Scottish equivalent, it was in 1540, by an Act of the Estates, declared to be of the same value as the " crown of wycht ; " and as such was passed into circulation. On the subject of rent in kind, we would refer to the preface to Vol. I. (xxvi., xxix.). In the present volume we find that lessees of corn-mills were required to pay as a portion of rent a fat boar yearly, or " ane sufficient clene-fed bair " every second year. A portion of the tenantry were bound to maintain herds of nolt or black cattle during the months of winter. Geese fed on a farm are described as tame," " fatted," or " fed," in contradistinc- tion to wild geese, the securing of which was the province of the fowler. One of the payments in kind was black oats, a descrip- tion of grain still in use.^ In the " Eegister of Tacks " 1539-59, additional light is thrown on the services of the tenantry. A nearly uniform provision was the supply of peats. The tenants were to recover peat from the marsh, and after proper preparation, to convey it to the monas- tery. Carriage service was of two kinds, the common or ordinary ; and that which was designated the long carriage or great draught. The common carriage consisted in the delivery at the monastery of so many "fidderis" or cart-loads of fuel, including peat, bent, roots, and branches of fallen trees. Cheese and fish, both fresh and dried — the latter being styled hard-fish — were also to be conveyed. The long carriage was required of the principal tenantry once a year, when two horses and four ^ In reference to a provision in the lease of William Nory, dated abont 1443 (I., xxix., 119) we have fallen into error. The " 18 score of hoggs," mentioned in this lease, refer to young sheep — not hogs or swine. XX IXTEODUCTIOX. oxen were employed in conveying to the abbey sucli articles as timber, lime, slates, and coal By the long carriage, otherwise called the great draught, goods were brought to the monastery from Dundee, the nearest port; also from other towns. A " small long carriage " is once mentioned. Land was divided into in-field," that is cultivated, and " out- field," or land which was unreclaimed Certain pastoral districts are described as " shepherd-land," ^ and it was a condition in respect to it, that the lessee should be willing to pasture as many sheep as the abbot might send to his care. Portions of territory were open to the tenantry, both for pasturage and fuel The meadows and broom-parks of Baitschell and Wester Drimmie, and the marshes of Balbrogie and Cowbyre, are specially named. There was also common pasturage at Campsie and Monkmyre. Eespecting the latter the conventual authori- ties instituted a judicial inquiry in Jtdy 1546, when, on the testimony of elderly persons, it was shown that while a portion was retained by members of the convent, the remaining part had been used by the tenants at Cowty, Bendochy, Galloraw, Baitschell, and other places ; also by their sub- tenants or cottars. During the fifteenth century leases were generally granted for five or seven years, though in some instances for nineteen years, and even for life. But in the incumbency of Abbot Donald more liberal covenants were allowed These were, however, accompanied by an exaction at entry, known as a composition or "grassum." Ample material for judging of the nature, extent, and value of this exaction is afforded in the " Buik of Compositiones of Gressumis," beginning in the present volume at p. 221. It was to be expected that Abbot Campbell would ^ Owing to th.e fact tliat at certain seasons sheep were sent from Cupar to the " shepherd -land " at Glenisla, eighteen miles distant, it would seem that the importance of change of climate and pasture in improving the condition of sheep was not unknown in the monastery. INTRODUCTION. xxi look favourably on his kinsmen ; and thus we find him making a composition (II., 227) for a liferent of Easter Percy to John Campbell, younger, and Eobert and William, his natural sons, the composition being " gratis for his and thairis seruice." Not infrequently, the composition was made payable to the " fabric of the monastery." For such a purpose, even twelve merks were accepted ; but sometimes the composition on a life lease was from one hundred to two hundred pounds. In March 1548, William Spalding " componit " for a life lease of the Miln of Keithock, by paying sixty pounds and a puncheon of " romany."^ When a widow re-married, it was common for the new husband to settle down into the tenancy which she had enjoyed with her former husband ; and for this privilege, as well as for the licence to marry, it was customary to make an exaction (II., 238, 243,250). Towards old tenants and their representatives much favour was extended. The married tenant was in every lease asso- ciated with his wife, who was always designated by her maiden name ; it was provided that the survivor should retain the farm during the subsistence of the lease. Occasionally the eldest son was conjoined with the parents ; but at other times the head of the family was permitted to select his successor from among his 1 In reference to this wine, Br Henderson, in his " Ancient and Modern Wines" (London, 1824), remarks : "Except the small town of Romana in Aragon there is no place that bears a similar designation, and I am not aware that the wines of that province have ever been much known beyond the places of their growth." Dr H. thinks it probable that Romany wine was prepared from a grape of Greek extraction, and that the name " Roum " is of Saracenic origin. In " Customs and Valuations of Merchandries, a.d. 1612" (Ledger of Haliburton, Edinburgh, 1867, p. 335), Romany or Romney wine is classed with sack, canary, etc., apart from Levant, French, and Rhenish wines. On the other hand, in the "Records of the Burgh of Edinburgh" (Scottish Burgh Record Society, 1871), we find at pp. 115, 121, 125, 127, etc., that Romany wine is uniformly classed along with French wines, such as Bordeaux, Orleans, Malvaisie, and Rochelle. It was probably identical with Romane Conti, a kind of Burgundy. xxii INTRODUCTION. sons. When there was a daughter only, the " gude son " (son-in- law) was conjoined in the lease, and where there were no children, heirs-male whatsoever, or heirs and assignees were named. For aged tenants the convent made due provision. Thus when Andrew Oliver, and Ellen Allan, his wife, received, in 1546, a lease of the twelfth portion of Cupar Grange, they became bound to provide in meat and clothes, and other necessaries, John Allan, the former tenant, then aged and infirm. Orphan children of tenants were in like manner provided for. Guardians were appointed from among their nearest friends, and in some cases benefactions were bestowed by the convent. When leases were renewed to widows, it was expressly stipu- lated that, should they marry without permission, their leases would be forfeited; and curiously enough, a clause as to re- marriage is sometimes inserted in leases granted during the husband's life. When a lease was renewed to a widow with children, a provision was made for the children. In certain leases the convent reserved power to take possession of a portion of the tenant's lands, but it was specified that, in this event, land should be gTanted to the tenant equal to that appropri- ated, and at the sight of husbandmen mutually chosen. The humbler tenantry were, in cultivating their portions, bound to use their own horses and farm-gear. The principal tenantry were, by special favour, empowered to make sub- tenants, but on these conditions ; that the sub-tenants were to be of no higher degree than themselves, and that their intro- duction was approved by the convent. In more important leases, it is set forth that lessees were to have power to appoint and eject tenants as often as they deemed expedient ; but that each tenant at entry should make oath to be faithful to the monastery, and willing to be corrected of all faults by its INTKODUCTION. xxiii ministers of justice; both spiritual and temporal. Tenants might abandon their holdings on giving six months' notice. In some leases, it was made a condition that poor sub-tenants were not to be removed from their holdings. Tor behoof of the humbler tenantry or others falling into poverty, a bursa pauperum was kept in the monastery.^ Military service was exacted from the principal tenantry, but the large supply of armour required in the earlier record (Preface, xxxii.) was not demanded subsequently. In leases granted from 1539 onwards, the principal tenantry became bound, in proportion to the extent of their holdings, to provide one or two mounted horsemen, each furnished with a spear or lance, for the service of the queen and abbot. Such service was to be rendered in war, and in the event of hostile gather- ings or intestine feuds. The provision for mounted horsemen was generally combined with that of furnishing one or two horses for the abbot's carriage. In his feu-charter dated August 1550, Eobert Montgomery, of Dundee, became bound to provide an armed horseman in defence of the abbot and convent against assailants and heretics. For many causes leases might be forfeited. A few may here be specified, but a full list will be found in the Index (sec For- feiture of Lease). In feu-charters it was provided that if rent was unpaid for three successive years, the conveyed property was to revert to the convent. " Tynsall of tack," that is, for- feiture of lease, was to follow conviction for theft or reset of stolen goods ; also the destruction of young timber or the unau- thorised appropriation of forest trees. Adultery was punishable in like manner, as was sorning, or sponging on one's neighbours. ^ Common labourers working at the abbey or in its gardens, were allowed as food the convent's " leavings" — or the portion of viands returned to the kitchen from the refectory. XXIV INTEODUCTION. In their lease, granted on 14th August 1542, Alexander Jackson, and his wife, and heir, promised to fulfil a part of theii' agreement, "under the pain of cursing." In his lease dated 3d June 1543, Simon Donald of Easter Cotyards, Janet Eattray, his spouse, and Simon, his son, covenanted under " tynsaU of tak," to '•' fortify and defend the liberty and common wealth of the realm, of the Christian faith, and of Holy Church and of the abbey." But in 1544, and until 1558, "tynsall of tak " was made contingent upon the adoption of heresy, that is, of conversion to the reformed doctrines ; the spread of which had excited among churchmen no inconsiderable alarm. In the lease of the lands of BruntThill, grranted on the 22d May 1545, to John Thom, and his wife, Ellen Small, also to one of their sons, it was thus provided : " If it happens John, Ellen, his spouse, and son foresaid, to hold any opinions of heresy against the ordinance and constitution of Holv Kirk : it beino: sufficiently proved upon them, this our letter of tack to be of no avail from that time forth ; but we freely to dispone there- upon as shall be thought expedient by ns." In other leases a mode of escape is aftbrded to those who renoimced the new faith, since those alone who "byde thairat obstinatlie," are subjected to punishment. TThen the doctrines of Luther had made marked progress, it was deemed essential to characterise them more specifically. Accordingly in his feu-charter of the lands of Little Perth, dated in 1550, Eobert Montgomerv-, of Dundee, and his wife, became bound to "defend the abbot and convent, their place and goods to the best of their ability, against all assailants and heretics whomsoever; and if they shall fall into the Lutheran madness (rahiem) and heresy, or if they shaU obstinately hold new opinions contrary to the con- stitutions of the Church, the said feu shall revert to the abbey." Among scions of notable families who held leases from the INTRODUCTION. XXV abbey, mentioned in the Preface (xlii.), were members of the house of Spalding. To King Eobert the Bruce Peter de Spaldyng betrayed the town of Berwick in 1318, pleading as his excuse that the burgesses were oppressed by the English troops. From King Eobert he, on the 1st May 1319, received, in exchange for his lands and tenements at Berwick, the lands of Ballourthy and Petmethy, in the county of Forfar, together with the keepership of the royal forest of Kylgerry.^ In 1469, Alexander Spaldyng of Auchinhary is named in the rental book as receiving in lease the church of Glenyleff (Glenisla). At the Feast of Pentecost 1469, the Grange of Erolie (Airlie) was let to William Spalding for five years. John Spalding, son and heir of James Spalding, received, on the 9th November 1560, a feu-charter of half the Grange of Airlie; George Spalding, on the same day, obtaining a charter of the other portion. Several other members of the Spalding family are noticed in the rental book. With the accession to the abbacy, in 1526, of Donald Camp- bell, fourth son of Archibald, second Earl of Argyle, members of families hitherto unknown in the district appear among the tenantry. Among these was the family of Montgomery. To Eobert Montgomery, Abbot Donald, on the 31st May 1558, granted a feu-charter of a portion of the lands of Balbrogy. The abbot's niece, Helen, daughter of Colin, third Earl of Argyle, was wife of Hugh Montgomery, third Baron, and first Earl of Eglinton. Members of the baronial house of Ogilvy appear as tenants on the abbey lands. In 1443 Patrick Ogilvy received from the convent the lease of a portion of the lands of Persie; he, in January 1460, is named as bailie-depute. 1 "History of the Carnegies, Earls of Southesk," by William Fraser, Edin- burgh, 1867, pp. xiv. 482, 483, 535. XXVi INTRODUCTION. The office of bailie was afterwards granted in lease to John, second Lord Ogilvy of Airlie ; it was also held by James, third, and James, fourth Lord Ogilvy. Among the Airlie Papers (IL, 297) is a letter of James V., in which the abbot and friars are commanded to allow James, Lord Ogilvy, to discharge his office of bailie without impediment, in consideration that his father and grandfather had held the same office, and that his lease of office had five years to run. This royal letter was signeted at Edinburgh on the 28th May, year unnamed; but as it contains the name of Abbot William TurnbuU, it clearly belongs to the period between 1509 and 1526 when that abbot held office. Turnbull's successor. Abbot Donald, granted to James, Lord Ogilvy, a charter, making the office of bailie hereditary in his house. It is set forth in the charter that his predecessors had well defended the convent, their servants and lands, both in peace and war. Besides a pecuniary recompense, Lord Airlie was privileged to personally receive the services of the tenants due to the monastery, also the fines and escheats levied in his court. On the 29th September 1539, Abbot Donald and the convent granted to James, Master of Ogilvy, son and heir-apparent of James, Lord Ogilvy of Airlie, and to Katherine Campbell, his spouse, a feu-charter of the lands of Glentullach and Auchindorie. In this charter. Lord Ogilvy binds himself and his heirs to defend the abbot and convent in actions, pleas, and quarrels, criminal or civil, against all persons, the king's majesty excepted. The legal authority of the abbey court began to wane. This is evident from a minute of the court of bailiery held on the 30th June 1540 (IL, 298), in which it appears that James, Master of Ogilvy, had summoned the tenantry to his court, and there exhibited to them an heritable infeftment, with an instrument of sasine, confirming him in office as bailie, while INTliODUCTION. xxvii liis authority was further vouched by the abbot in person. Thereupon a memorial, subscribed by twenty-one of the tenantry, was produced, praying that the practice of litigants seeking justice at distant courts might be prohibited; where- upon both the abbot and bailie ruled that all who brought their neighbours to any court other than that of the abbey should be fined five pounds for the first offence, and for the second ten pounds; while if they continued disobedient, they should be extruded from their holdings. James, Master of Ogilvy, married Katherine, daughter of Sir John Campbell of Calder, the abbot's brother. In the abbot's bed-chamber in the monastery, on the 30th July 1545, he executed his will, constituting his wife his executrix. As a reason moving him to execute his testament, he refers to " the troublous time, and the raid against Englishmen, the old ene- mies of Scotland ; " he had anticipated his fate, for he fell at the battle of Pinkie in September 1547. His widow became second wife of David, Earl of Crawford, and as such was, by the abbot, on the 10th September [1557], liferented with her son, James, fifth Lord Ogilvy, in the lands of Mickle Forthar, in the barony of Glenisla. From Katherine Campbell are descended the present representatives of the noble Houses of Crawford and Airlie. By the help of the Airlie Papers we obtain the not uninterest- ing history of an office in the monastery, less subordinate than modern usages might infer, and which, by purchase, ultimately became a hereditary appanage of the noble House of Airlie. As has already been detailed (I., 41), about 1480-1509, John Porter was appointed hereditary porter of the abbey, the duties of the office having been efficiently discharged by his predeces- sors. In recompense, he was allowed the use of a chamber near the abbey gate, with a monk's portion from the cellar; xxviii INTRODUCTION. also a dwelling-house at Baitschell, with six acres of arable land, and pasturage for two horses and seven cows and their followers. This grant was, in the year 1550, confirmed to Eobert Porter by Abbot Donald, who, in 1557, granted to him and his wife, Agnes Campbell, a lease of a portion of the lands of Keithock. From the chamberlain's account, in 1563, we find Kobert Porter entered as receiving a commuted allowance, consequent on the secularisation of the monastery. By an instrument executed on the 15th January 1584-5, Eobert Porter, on account of age and infirmity, resigned his office of porter in favour of David, his son. Consequent on his son's death, he, in March 1586-7, granted his hereditary office to his son-in-law, John Farar, together with his house and lands at Baitschell, and his annual pension of fifty-five merks, the estimated value of a monk's portion. In terms of this instru- ment, the rights and privileges of the office w^ere, in March 1586, granted to John Farar, by Leonard Lesley, the commen- dator. To Farar and his wife, Janet Porter, the commendator's grant was, on the 10th June 1587, confirmed by royal charter. By a contract, dated 12th March 1589, confirmed by the com- mendator, Farar and his wife sold, for four hundred pounds Scots, their office and its privileges to William Ogilvy in Easter Keillor, and his son Archibald. Having, by sale, transferred the office and its privileges to James, Lord Ogilvy, Archibald Ogilvy granted sasine of the same on the 28th June 1609. When, in 1747, the Act of George II. for abolishing heritable jurisdictions in Scotland was passed, John, fourth Earl of Airlie, received the sum of eight hundred pounds sterling, as com- pensation for the loss of his office as bailie of the monastery. To the family of William Eoger, bailie-depute of the monas- tery, we have already (L, xxxvii-xl) referred somewhat fully. The name Eoger appears in the rental book so early as 1454, INTRODUCTION. xxix when a twelfth part of the lands of Cupar Grange was let for seven years to William Eoger.^ At Pentecost 1457, one-half of Polkak, Blarachnoch, and Achnekathyl, was let for a short term to William Haldane, and the other half to John Eoger ; a son of the latter, styled John Eogerson, obtained a renewal of lease in 1467. At Whitsunday 1474, John Eoger received a lease of an eighth part of Arthurstone, in the lands of Bal- brogy ; and in 1479 a house and croft at Chapelton of Balbrogy was let to William Eogerson. At Pentecost 1468, William Eoger is named with nine others, who together received a lease of Cupar Grange for five years. He and his neighbours, at Whitsunday 1473, had a renewal of lease " for al the termys of thar livys." In 1505, the twelfth part of Cupar Grange was let for five years to William Eoger. This William Eoger died prior to the Feast of Pentecost 1508, when his portion at Cupar Grange was leased to James Ireland.^ He was survived by a son and a daughter ; these at the time of his death were probably infants. The daughter described as "Jonet Eogeare, wife of William Hudson," received, conjunctly with her husband on the 19th September 1542, a renewed lease of the twelfth part of the lands of Cupar Grange. She seems to have married a second time ; for Jonet Eoger, relict of umquhile John Findlay, is, on the 9th March 1557, described as receiving in lease a portion of the lands of Downy. William Eoger received from Abbot Donald, on 1st May 1542, along with his wife Marjory Blair, a lease of the twelfth 1 The Rogers of Cupar Grange, we subsequently find, were related to the family of Roger of Redie, parish of Airlie, Forfarshire. In the Acta Dominorum Concilii, lib. vii., fol. 2, 15th June 1496, is mentioned an action by Thomas Roger against James, Lord Abernethy, anent the half lands of Redy. ^ In the Preface to vol.

On the 23d April 15-44, William Eoger appears as bailie-depute of the monastery.^ As bailie-depute he was in 1561 associated with David Campbell, an illegitimate son of the abbot.^ William Eoger died at Cupar Grange in June 1562, and his personal estate was valued at £452, 18s. 6d., exclusive of ''silver lent to the Laird of Kuthven." In his will, executed on the 16th April 1562,^ he appointed as executors, his wife Marjory Blair and his son William; and among four " oversmen " he names " David Eoger in Eedie, and William Eoger his son."* David Eoger of Eedie was the testa- tor's kinsman ; William Eoger married one of his daughters. William Eoger, son of William Eoger and Marjory Blair, received from Sir John Campbell of Calder, a charter of feu- ferme of the portion of land at Cupar Grange rented by his predecessors. He married Margaret EoUock.^ He must have died in 1604, for on the 21st December of that year his son William obtained sasine of his lands at Cupar Grange.^ In this inheritance he was succeeded by his son William who married Elspeth Angus, whose progenitors rented a portion of the abbey lands. According to a family tradition he died of a pestilential sickness which visited the country in 1664, while, soon thereafter the family inheritance was by his widow sold to one of the family of Meek, whose progenitors had also been rentallers at Cupar.'' ^ Preface, vol.

INTRODUCTION. xxxi George, son of William Eoger, son of the second portioner of Cupar Grange, leased a portion of the abbey lands, in which he was succeeded by his son William, and his grandson Peter.^ James, eldest son of Peter Eoger, espoused Jane Haldane, whose ancestors, proprietors of Berniony, Perthshire, were formerly connected with the abbey lands. Their only son, the editor of these volumes, is one of the numerous descendants of the Lords Ogilvy, hereditary bailies of the abbey, and of Archibald, Earl of Argyle, father of Abbot Donald. In relation to the later history of the monastery, the records and documents contained in the present volume supply much new information. While, consequent on the Act of the Estates establishing the reformed faith, the institution was divested of its ancient character, Abbot Donald, irrespective of any arrange- ments by the Privy Council, completed its secularisation. For those connected with him he endeavoured to secure the entire revenues of the disestablished monastery.^ His brother, Sir John Campbell of Lorn, had, by espousing Muriel, daughter and heiress of Sir J ohn Calder of Calder, in the county of Nairn, acquired ^ Baptismal Registers of Bendochy. 2 It is not improbable that the subjoined document, which is contained among "The Errol Papers," may have reference to instructions issued against some of his tenants by Abbot Donald : "An Priviledge of the Constabulary touching the Punishment of Officers of Arms, xvi January mdlv, ' ' Apud JEdinburgum, xvi Januarii mo ccccco Liiij.

In a charter of the lands of Murthly in Mar, granted by the abbot to Alexander Forbes in April 1541, are named among the witnesses, Sir John Campbell of Calder, Archibald Campbell, parish clerk of Ben- dochy, and Mr David Campbell in Easter Denhead.^ Archi- bald Campbell is described in the "Eental Book" (I., 316) as brother-german to James Campbell of Lawers; he obtained a lease of the lands of Invirtschie and Dunfallinch some time between the years 1532 and 1536. Archibald Campbell, " burgess of Dundee," is witness to a charter of a house at Perth "signed and sealed at Cupar on the 8th August 1541," and to this charter are subscribing witnesses, Patrick Campbell, who appears to have rented a portion of Kincreich (I., 316) ; also Mr John Campbell, pensioner de Ilys. John Campbell obtained a portion of the abbey lands at Murthly, and in September 1550, a lease of Xewbigging of Carsgrange. John Campbell, along with his wife, Elizabeth Blacklock, had, from Abbot Donald, in November 1557, a lease of the lands of Soutarliouse and Muirton. John Campbell, " Lord of Skipinsh " (Skippinche), received from the abbot and convent, in April 1559, a charter of the lands of Cupar Grange. John Campbell of Lundie (Londie) is named under 16th January 1561. About the year 1532, Mr David Campbell received a lease of the teinds of the church of Glenisla, which was renewed to him in 1557; he some time rented a portion of the lands of Balbrogy. He was depute-bailie in 1553, and as " David Campbell in Denhead," witnessed, in 1558-9, a charter of the lands of Kyncreich. His remains were deposited in the church of Bendochy (I., 112).

INTRODUCTION. xxxiii feuar at Crunan, is a witness to the charter of David Campbell, in the lands of Cupar Grange ; in 15G3 he is named in the cham- berlain's accoant as put to the horn for non-payment of dues. Many other members of the family of Campbell are named in the rental book.^ When, in 1563, Alexander Wishart of Carnbeg, the chamber- lain, presented to his relative, Sir John Wishart of Pitarrow, the comptroller, an account of the thirds of the abbey rents (App. I.), he had to report that, while " the hail pay of the said abay wes intromettit with and disponit be my Lord of Argyll and his seruandis," there were among those " denuncit rebellis and put to the horn " for non-payment of rent. Lady Crawfurd, the late abbot's niece, and Colin and John Campbell, most pro- bably the abbot's sons. Eepresenting that he had been in pos- session of " all and haill the toun and landis of Cowpar Grange, with the pertinentis," since the 29th May 1569, John Campbell of Caddel [Calder] complained to the Privy Council, in 1579, that Lord Boyd, collector-general of thirds, had illegally exacted a payment from his tenants. The Council decreed an exemption.^ J ohn, fourth Earl of Athole, was, as husband of Mary Camp- bell, the abbot's sister, enabled to acquire a principal share of the abbey estate. On the 7th October 1558, he obtained from the convent a charter of the lands of Innerwick. By a royal charter in April 1564, he received, as portion of his justiciary, " all and haill the lands pertaining to the abbot and convent of Cupar, liand within the earldom " of Athole ; which grant was, in 1578, confirmed by the Privy Council.^ ^ Since the name of the abbot's wife is not to be found in any contemporary record, there can be no doubt that Lord Campbell errs in holding that Donald Campbell had married "before entering into religion" (L, xl.). His sons were clearly illegitimate (I., Ill, 112). 2 Eegister of the Privy Council of Scotland (Edin., 1880), iii., 142. Ibid., ii., 698-700. C xxxiv INTRODUCTION. On the 24th August 1565, the Earl of Athole appointed Leonard Lesley spiritual commendator of the abbey, his act being confirmed under the Privy Seal. By a disposition (App. V.) dated 17th March 1610, James, Earl of Athole, on behalf of the four daughters of his predecessor, James, Earl of Athole, con- veyed to James Drummond in Boghall, ten thousand merks, in return for the abbey lands of Cupar, consisting of the farms of Over Drimmie, Over Persie, Grange of Aberbothrie, Arthur- stone, and Campsie, along with the market-town of Cupar and the precincts or constabulary " of the monastery. It is interesting to remark in the chamberlain's account that in 1563 John Knox received stipend as minister of Edinburgh from the abbey " thirds." The sum paid him under the comp- troller's precept was £66, 14s. 4d., for which it is recorded he granted a discharge.^ In the chamberlain's account, we have some particulars as to the state of the abbey buildings in 1563. The chamberlain describes the chapel as being so completely wrecked, that with a view to preserve the timber, he had built up both doors ; also the undermost door of the steeple. In the cloister, he had collected the slates which had been removed from the roof. He had also repaired the broken windows, providing them with iron framework. The abbot's apartments he had partially restored, and with proper fastenings made secure the granaries and store-houses. From having, in August 1562, accommodated the royal stud, the stables of the monastery are in the account styled the " queues stables." The further history of the struc- ture will be found in the Preface (xxi.-xxv.). On the resumption of the abbey lands by the crown, James VL, in a charter dated 7th February 1595, granted to Leonard 1 For an account of the payment of stipends of the reformed clergy out of the thh-ds of benefices, see Calderwood's *' History of the Kirk," ii., 172. INTRODUCTION. XXXV Lesley, " the spiritual patrimony of the abbey — viz., the tower, fortalice, and all within the precincts ; with the parsonage and vicarage teinds of the churches of Bendochy, Glenisla, Airlie, Methie [Mathy], Fossoway, and Alveth." What revenue Lesley had originally as spiritual commendator, does not appear ; but a provision, actual or contingent, was made to his four sons. Leonard, his eldest son, on the 16th March 1597, demitted into the hands of the king, that portion of the temporality of the abbey, held by his father. On the 3d February 1583, Andrew, another of the sons, obtained a decreet against the commen- dator and others, for payment of a pension of £50 out of the abbey rental. Andrew subsequently became clerk to Cornelius Tennant, advocate; as such he, on the 24th June 1603, granted a contract of £50, together with seven dozen of capons, and two dozen of poultry, to Mr David Williamson, minister at Mathy. Alexander, another of the commendator's sons, received, on the 30th June 1592, by a Privy Seal grant, a portion of the abbey's revenues, formerly enjoyed by "Dean John Fogo, monk ; " which grant was confirmed by his father, as commen- dator, on the 18th July of the same year. He, in 1601, became minister of Mortlach, in Banffshire ; and on the 28th October of the following year, assigned his portion to his brother James. Leonard Lesley was deprived of his office prior to the 26th December 1595, when the commendatorship was by royal pre- cept conferred upon Mr George Halyburton, son of George Halyburton of Kincaple. He was succeeded by Mr Andrew Lamb, whose gift of the benefice, dated 24th March 1603, was confirmed on the 1st June 1605. He demitted his office on the 24th January 1607, in favour of James Elphinstone, second son of the first Lord Balmerino ; for whose behoof an Act dissolvino^ the abbey, and erecting it into a temporal lordship, was passed on the 9th July 1606. XXXVl IXTEODUCTIOX. In the Preface (^li.-liv.) will be found a history of the abbey site and its enTirons, from 1606 to 1832, when Francis Archibald Stuart became owner. On the death of this gentleman, which took place on the 14th July 1875, the constabulary of the abbey, extending to 145 acres, devolved by succession on his nephew, Edward Archibald Stuart, who has since inherited the estates of Gray and Kinfauns, and, in consec[uence, added to his patronymic the name of Gray. Edward Archibald Stuart-Gray is eldest son of the Eev. Edmund Luttrell Stuart, rector of Winterbourne- Houghton, in the county of Dorset, by his wife Elizabeth, second daughter of the Eev. J. L. Jackson, rector of Swanage, Dorset : he is heir-presumptive of the earldom of Moray. In the first volume is contained the earlier of two manuscript volumes, registers of leases and charters granted by the convent from 1443 to 1538. In the present volume will be found a continuation of the register, embracing entries from 1539 till September 1559; also "the rental" of the monastery in 1542. The appendices embrace a number of documents, among which are nine charters, not before printed. From the Brockie MS., a small volume in modern binding, preserved in the library of the Catholic College at Blairs, several important documents have been printed. The original transcriber, Marianus Brockie, a native of Edinburgh, was prior of the monastery at Ratisbon, and the transcripts of the documents contained in the earlier part of his collection, were made by him at Edinburgh, where, about the period of the Hanoverian succession, he was employed as a missionary. From the Brockie MS. 'Ap. III.) are presented charters by William the Lion, confirming crrants to the abbev by William of Hay and his successors. Among these are charters by the king to the monks of Cupar, confirming the donation which William of Hay made to the convent of the lands of Lidderpoles INTRODUCTION. xxxvii (I., ix., 328); also a charter by David of Hay, with consent of Gilbert his heir, whereby he bestowed on the monks a net's fishing and an ark for eels on the river Tay. In the same MS. is a grant by Sir Gilbert de Hay, Lord of Errol, to the convent of free passage on his lands for their men and goods ; also a perpetual right to the herbage and fishing in Ederpoles (Lidderpoles). In Appendix III. we obtain the correct name of a witness to a charter of confirmation by King William the Lion, which is contained in the Breviary. In the charter referred to (L, 320, 321), Sir James Balfour writes "Bernardo, filio Bain." From the Brockie MS. we find that Balfour had inaccurately written Bain for Briani. The name Brian occurs in other charters of the period. In the Brockie MS. (Ap. III. 5) is a charter by King Eobert the Bruce to the abbot and convent, confirming grants by Sir Adam of Glen Bathlach, Sir Alexander of Abernethy, Gilbert of Hay, Alexander of Lindesay, and Marjory, Countess of Athole. These grants include the lands of the two Drimmies and Kin- creich, the church of Mathie, the church of Fossoway, the land of Littleport, near Montrose, and the church of Alvah. There is a charter by Mcholas of Hay, Lord of Errol, of an oxgate of land "in Carso," which they had by gift of Eoger, son of Baudrice. An undated charter by Philip de Valoniis (Ap. IL, 2), bestowing on the monks of Cupar an acre in his port of Stinkin- haven, evidently belongs to this period. For the use of the Brockie MS. we are indebted to the kindness of Archbishop Strain. From the original there is given in Appendix IL a charter of Alexander II. of the same date as another charter of confirmation recorded in the Breviary (I., 328). Herein the king grants to the monks exemption from toll, and renews privileges bestowed XXXVlll INTRODUCTION. by his royal i^redecessors, Malcolm and William. A facsimile of this instrument is presented as a frontispiece. The grant to the convent by Alexander II., exempting the members from a pay- ment to the royal falconers, was formerly (vol. I., xiv., 329), on Balfour's authority, described as airimam waytiTigam. The tax was "annua waytinga," a duty otherwise known as conveth, assessed on certain lands in place of an obligation to entertain the sovereign in his royal progresses. The priory of Coldingham yielded a sum of twenty merks of "annua waytinga" to the Scottish crown, which was remitted by Alexander 11.^ Entries respecting the " waytinga " frequently occur in the Exchequer EoUs. In the Breviary (I., 336), Sir James Balfour has fallen into error in regard to the dates of two charters of Sir Hugh de Abernethy. These charters clearly belong to the reign of Alex- ander III., probably to the years 1268-69 and 1271 instead of the earlier dates assigned to them in Balfour's transcript. For Sir Hugh de Abernethy, father of Sir Alexander, first appears in history in 1257, when, with the Earl of Mar and others, he was concerned in the surprise and abduction of the young king Alexander III.; he died before 1293, when his son. Sir Alex- ander, then under age, succeeded him. Three of the witnesses, Hugh, abbot of Inchaffray, Sir Mcholas de Hay, and Sir Alan de Harcars, severally flourished in the reign of Alexander III. Eor the documents relating to the abbey, contained in Appendix IV., we are indebted to the Earl of Airlie, who kindly placed at our service his family papers preserved at Cortachy Castle. In possession of Lord Airlie (Ap. IV.) is the original of that charter, noted in the Breviary (I., 323), by which King William the Lion granted "to God and to the monks and brethren of the monastery of St Marie at Cupar" exemption ^ Kaine's *' Nortli Durham." Appendix, pp. 12, 14-16. INTRODUCTION. xxxix from toll and other customs; freedom from molestation, with other benefits ; also plenary authority over the lands of Grange. Among the witnesses subscribing is Lyulph the son of Machus ; not Matliei, as in the Breviary the word is by Sir James Balfour inaccurately rendered.^ By Mr Stuart-Gray of Gray and Kinfauns, we have had submitted to our inspection the inventories and other papers relating to the abbey lands pre- served in his family charter-chest. Lord Saltoun has favoured us with useful information. Apart from their topographical interest and importance in relation to the origin of many notable families in central Scot- land, these records of the Abbey of Cupar must be regarded as of no ordinary historical value. Certainly no other work con- tains such ample details relating to Scottish husbandry and rural affairs during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. For it must be remembered that the printed chartularies of religious houses are chiefly valuable in connection with the history of landed property, and in illustration of the comparative wealth of ecclesiastical establishments. In these pages we learn how the Pre-Eeformation clergy administered their estates, and otherwise conducted their affairs ; while in the various details is presented a portraiture of social and domestic life among that class of persons — the agricultural — which then and long after- wards formed the bones and sinews of the nation. The editor has, in conclusion, to renew his acknowledgments to Mr Thomas Dickson of the General Eegister House, also to the Eev. Walter Macleod, his accomplished and indefatigable transcriber. To Mr James D. Crichton he has been indebted for valuable help in preparing the Glossary appended to the present volume. For the singularly accurate and admirable ^ In Mr William Fraser's "Book of Caerlaverock " it is maintained that he was ancestor of the House of Maxwell. xl IXTEODUCTIOX. Index, and other important help, Mr Matthew Macmaster, formerly of Edinburgh, now of London, is entitled to the editor's special thanks and commendation. To all who have responded to liis inquiries, and so aided in rendering the work more worthy of pubhc acceptance, the editor returns his grateful acknowledg- ments. In completing a task which has occupied a portion of his time during a space of three years, he feels stimulated to further labours in the same field.
