‘Diplomata Regia’: transcripts, 1754-1760, and undated, of the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, made for Walter Macfarlane.
Series
Identifier: Adv.MS.35.2.1(I)-(X)
Scope and Contents
The transcripts extend from the earliest surviving rolls to Book 34; presumably Macfarlane`s intention was to continue the series to at least Book 59 (cf. his index, Adv.MS.35.1.8), but the absence of a title page in volume X suggests that it was the last completed.
