INTRODUCTION.
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. 1 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, Ptobert
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 Ray 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.
For 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. 2 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 ahsence of the abbot. It appears 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 abhey. The Linn is formed by the river Tav tailing
over a dyke of basalt which bisects the district. On the south side of the Linn
i- Btobhall ( 'astir, an ancient residence of the family of Drnmmond, 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 " rollar " (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 (Jwspitia)
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. 1 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 Fossoway, 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 ( lamp-
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 14G2, 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 ai
of Perth.
INTRODUCTION. XI
of its fruits, was leased for one hundred merks to Patrick How-
Drone and his sons. 1
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 tha + 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 first instance giving to the monastery an opportunity of
purchase, and they were not to dispose of their lands to persons
of higher rank than themselves. Their successors were to
pay double feu-duty at the first year's entry, while attendance
was sometimes pledged to the three pleas 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 lie failed in diligence, or kept back any portion of his
INTRODUCTION. Xlll
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 eightpenee 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." 1 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 w T ell 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 (I., 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 INTRODUCTION.
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 studarius or keeper of
bullocks and black cattle, was conferred on one "Maknychol" and
another, together with 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'Nicholl 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 was 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; Persic,
Cally, and Drimmie ; Glenisla ; Athole and Mar ; Glenboy,
Kinrreich, 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) ; x carefully nurturing thern 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 Rental 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 granted
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, Eobert
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 sokvn
oi district was enforced. It is described in most leases as
INTRODUCTION. xvii
" doing 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 aue foill.
Wee had thrie ky, that was baith fat and fair,
Nane tydier into the toun of Air.

Muirland tenants became bound to keep hounds, or a " leiche
of howndis, to hunt the tod (fox) and wolf." 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 Falow, 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

pp. 200, 201. The impost of herezeld fell into general disuse about the close of
the seventeenth century, but it is met witli 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 lhat 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. 1
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

XX INTRODUCTION.
oxen were employed in conveying to the abbey such 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," 1 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 Eaitschell 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 July 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
Corapositiones of Gressumis," beginning in the present volume
at p. 221. It was to be expected that Abbot Campbell would

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 fche Miln of
Keithock, by paying sixty pounds and a puncheon of " romany." 1
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, Dr Henderson, in his " Ancient and Modern Wines"
(London, 1824), remarks : "Except the small town of Roniana 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 Merchandises, 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 Societ} r , 1S71), 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 " gnde 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 granted 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
INTRODUCTION. xxiil
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. For behoof of the
humbler tenantry or others falling into poverty, a bursa
pauperum was kept in the monastery. 1
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 (see 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.
1 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 INTRODUCTION.
In their lease, granted on 14th August 1542, Alexander
Jackson, and his wife, and heir, promised to fulfil a part of
their agreement, "under the pain of cursing." In his lease
dated 3d June 1543, Simon Donald of Easter Cotyards, Janet
Battray, his spouse, and Simon, his son, covenanted under
" tynsall 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 Bruntyhill, granted 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 Holy Kirk ; it being
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 us." In other leases a
mode of escape is afforded to those who renounced the new
faith, since those alone who "byde thairat obstinatlie," are
subjected to punishment. When 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 Montgomery, 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 (mliem) and heresy, or if
they shall 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. 1 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.

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 (II.,
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 Turnbull, 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 (II., 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
INTRODUCTION. XXV11
his 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 Miclde 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;
XXV1U 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 Eobert 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 were, 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 (I., 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 Roger. 1 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 Roger ; a
son of the latter, styled John Rogerson, obtained a renewal of
lease in 1467. At Whitsunday 1474, John Roger 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 Rogerson. At Pentecost 1468, William
Roger 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 Roger. This William Roger died prior to
the Feast of Pentecost 1508, when his portion at Cupar Grange
was leased to James Ireland. 2 He was survived by a son
and a daughter ; these at the time of his death were probably
infants. The daughter described as "Jonet Rogeare, 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 Roger, relict of umquhile John Findlay, is, on
the 9th March 1557, described as receiving in lease a portion of
the lands of Downy.
William Roger 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 1406, is mentioned an action by Thomas Roger
against James, Lord Abernethy, anent the half lands of Redy.

the information supplied by entries in the present volume, it appears that
William Roger was not granger of the abbey as formerly stated.

part of the lands of Cupar Grange. The lease extended not
to their joint-lives only, but to the lives of their son and
daughter. On the 23d April 1544, "William Eoger appears
as bailie-depute of the monastery. 1 As bailie-depute he was
in 15G1 associated with David Campbell, an illegitimate
son of the abbot. 2 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 Euthven." In
his will, executed on the 16th April 1562, 3 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." 4 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 portiou of land at Cupar Grange rented by his
predecessors. He married Margaret Eollock. 5 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. 6 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 bee])
rentallers at Cupar. 7

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. 1
James, eldest son of Peter Eoger, espoused Jane Haldane, whose
ancestors, proprietors of Bermony, 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. 2 His brother, Sir John
Campbell of Lorn, had, by espousing Muriel, daughter and heiress
of Sir John Calder of Calder, in the county of Nairn, acquired

"The Errol Papers, " may have reference to instructions issued against some of
his tenants by Abbot Donald :

no ordinary opulence. 1 Yet he was not unwilling to accept from
his brother the teinds of the church of Alvah. 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. 2 Archi-
bald Campbell is described in the " Rental 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 cle Ilys. John Campbell obtained
a portion of the abbey lands at Murthly, and in September
1550, a lease of Newbigging of Carsgrange. John Campbell,
along with his wife, Elizabeth Blacklock, had, from Abbot
Donald, in November 1557, a lease of the lands of Soutarhouse
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, Mi-
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). Colin Campbell,

feuar at Crunan, is a witness to the charter of David Campbell,
in the lands of Cupar Grange ; in 1563 he is named in the cham-
berlain's account as put to the horn for non-payment of dues.
Many other members of the family of Campbell are named
in the rental book. 1
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 Argyil
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. 2
John, 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, Hand within the earldom " of Athole ; which
grant was in 1578, confirmed by the Privy Council. 3
1 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" (I., xl.). His sons were
clearly illegitimate (I., Ill, 112).

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. 1
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 " quenes 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
VI., in a charter dated 7th February 1595, granted to Leonard

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 commenclatorship 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 dissolving
the abbey, and erecting it into a temporal lordship, was passed
on the 9th July 1606.
XXX VI INTRODUCTION.
In the Preface (li.-liv.) will be found a history of the abbey
site and its environs, 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 consequence, added to his patronymic
the name of Gray. Edward Archibald Stuart-Gray is eldest
son of the Rev. Edmund Luttrell Stuart, rector of Winterbourne-
Houghton, in the county of Dorset, by his wife Elizabeth, second
daughter of the Rev. 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 grants to the abbey 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 (I., 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. II., 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 II. 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
XXXV1U INTRODUCTION.
by his royal predecessors, 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 waytiwjam. 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 II. 1 Entries
respecting the " waytinga " frequently occur in the Exchequer
Eolls.
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. Eor
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 Nicholas de Hay, and Sir Alan
de Harcars, severally flourished in the reign of Alexander III.
For 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
1 Rune's "North 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 Mathei, as in the Breviary the word is by Sir James
Balfour inaccurately rendered. 1 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 Register 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

ancestor of the House of Maxwell.

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 his inquiries, and so aided in rendering the work more worthy
of public 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.

Charter to James, Lord Ogilvy, of the Bailiery of Cupar
Abbey.
2. Charter by Donald, abbot of Cupar, and the convent

Assignation of the Convent of Cupar.
[Translation.]
115. In the name of God, this present writing attests that it
is determined between us, Donald, Abbot of Cupar and the con-
vent of the same place, as we have resolved together, God being
our guide, to lead a regular life, and to order our manners
according to the reformers of the Cistercian order ; and specially
that all the fruits, income, and provision of the monastery of
Cupar be possessed and used in common by us, Donald, abbot,
and convent : So that we, Donald the abbot, shall faithfully give
and appoint a proportion of all the produce, once in the year, to
four or six of our brethren to be chosen by us and the convent ;
and what remains over at the end of the year, with their advice
we shall spend upon the necessaries of the monastery, for the
support of the convent and their friends occasionally visiting
the monastery and of other religious men arriving in the absence
of the abbot : They shall have a cellarer and bursar likewise to
be chosen annually by us, that is to say, religious men, with
the advice of the more judicious (sanioris) part of the convent ;
110 REGISTER OF TACKS OF
which bursar shall receive yearly, according to the number of
the convent, the rents of lands of the barony of Cupar, as well
money as victuals, to the proportion for each brother for daily
bread sixteen ounces of good wheat, sixteen ounces of oaten bread,
two quarts of beer (ceruisie), and for the said strangers yearly
1 boll of wheat ; and each brother in the year, £13, 6s. 8d. for
flesh, fish, butter, salt, and other spices, and figs, soap (smigmate),
and candles for the refectory, hall of grace (aula grade), infir-
mary, and other places needful, and for the wages of servants
of the refectory, cellarer, bursar, cook, gardeners, and other
necessary servants ministering to said convent, besides the
baker and brewer ; and for clothing, 53 s. 4d. each friar annually ;
likewise, the same cellarer shall receive capons and hens, wont
to be paid to the convent, as well on ordinary days as feast days,
along with eight dozen of salmon from our fisheries of Campsy
and Ileff, and four stones of cheese for each friar in the year,
from our church of Fossoquhy, and these shall be served to
each as need may be, according to the tenor of the rule : And
account shall be made, at least, twice a year before the abbot,
and each day before the prior and auditors, and if there be a
surplus, it shall be disposed of to their uses, by our authority :
Done in the chapter place of Cupar, loth October 1553, con-
firmed by our own seal and the common seal with our manual
subscriptions; the abbot and each of the brethren have subscribed:
D. de Cupro abbas — Bernerd Murdosoun, John Turnbull, John
Frog, William Blare, Adam Anderson, Thomas Hammiltone,
Alexander Anderson, Johannes Fogow, James Maistertoun,
William Auchinlek, Thomas Dron, Alexander Dotho, John
Fogow, junior, Thomas Cowle, John Lawsone.
Petrus Trent.
Which day the said abbot, with advice of the brethren above
written, appointed friar Thomas Hammilton to be prior, William
Baxter to be sub-prior, during the will of the abbot, John
Lawson to be cellarer and bursar, Sir Thomas Cowle under-
cellarer and for out-door matters, Sir Alexander Anderson to
THE ABBEY OF CUPAR. Ill
be chantor, and John Fogow, elder, to be sub-chantor, with their
perquisites.
So it is, Peter Trent, writer in the premises.
