Transcripts by Lieutenant-General George Henry Hutton of several of the muniments of the family of Arbuthnott of Arbuthnott (later Viscounts of Arbuthnott), together with a few from other sources.
The documents transcribed are dated between 1438 and 1681: most are of the 16th century. They relate to ecclesiastical antiquities and in particular to the Carmelites and their convent at "Innerbervie", i.e. Bervie, Kincardineshire. The transcripts are written on paper watermarked 1813: possibly it was the making of these transcripts that prompted the compilation of the inventory by the family about 1820 (cf. ‘Scots Peerage’, volume i, page 272).
