Charters
Found in 754 Collections and/or Records:
Miscellany of antiquarian papers compiled by Richard Augustine Hay in 1725-1726 and probably over a somewhat longer period, consisting for the most part of transcripts of royal, episcopal, baronial and other charters and other formal documents from the 12th to the 17th centuries, together with some extracts from medieval cartularies, and a few notes on contemporary published works.
The papers are in some confusion and many others dispersed. Some (Adv.MS.25.9.10) were acquired by the Advocates` Library in 1881 as part of the Riddell Papers; and others (Acc.5022 and Acc.5694) were acquired by the National Library of Scotland in 1970 and 1972.
The purposes for which the papers were originally compiled and the circumstances of their dispersal are alike unknown.
