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.
Item
Identifier: Adv.MS.31.1.3
Scope and Contents
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.
