The text was compiled in 1752, but has additions up to 1773, and is written on paper watermarked 1811. The manuscript may originally have been compiled by William Grant, Lord Prestongrange, the account of whose life is unusually detailed (folio 48) and whose Hanoverian politics are reflected in the account of some eighteenth-century Grants (for example folio 43).
