Copy, probably made between 1774 and 1778 by the Reverend James Scott, and interspersed by him with historical notes, of ‘The Chronicle of Perth`, 1210-1668, also known as Mercer`s Chronicle and Fleming`s Chronicle., 1600-1668.
The Chronicle was compiled probably between 1600 and 1668 by more than one person. Though attributed to John Mercer, town clerk of Perth, the most that can be said is that the original was at one time in his possession and he may have contributed a few entries to it. His predecessor Henry Elder may also have contributed. From 1660 it is almost entirely a register of burials.
Copy used for the publication in book form of ‘Life of Mansie Wauch’ by David Macbeth Moir, with other writings.
Copy 'Written be Me Richard Moir schoolemaister at Campsie 1636' of 'The Historie and chronicles of Scotland', John Bellenden's translation of Hector Boece's ‘Scotorum historiae’ in seventeen books.
It appears to have been copied, with substantial differences in places, from the first edition which was printed at Edinburgh about 1536. The chronicle is continued, as Books xviii-xxii (folio 321), by the 'Historie and chronicles of Scotland' by Robert Lindesay of Pitscottie to the year 1566. This is followed (folio 447), as Book xxiii, by another continuation, in considerably less detail, as far as the year 1604 and (folio 463) 'Some late accidentes', a list of events from 1612 to 1637.
