Calligraphic transcript, 7 August 1782, by John McOmie of the copy made by James Scott, minister of East church, Perth, of the charter granted 14 April 1498 to the Carthusian monastery, Perth, by James Stewart, Earl of Buchan (created 1469), of his garden or orchard without the Spey (folio 4).
The main transcript is preceded by transcripts by McOmie of Scott`s account of the circumstances of the donation (folio 1) and Scott`s presentation note, 19 July 1782, to David Steuart Erskine, Earl of Buchan (succeeded 1767) (folio ii).

Hutton transcripts. A collection of transcripts of the cartularies of Aberdeen Cathedral (Adv.MS.20.3.1) and Newbattle Abbey (Adv.MS.20.3.3) and of charters and other formal documents, many of which are extracts from other cartularies, of and concerning several of the medieval dioceses and religious houses of Scotland.
Most of these transcripts and extracts, which were made between circa 1794 and circa 1824, are in the hand of Lieutenant-General G H Hutton: most of the rest are in the same hand as Adv.MS.9A.1.4. Many of the transcripts were made from originals and copies in possession of William Maule of Panmure, who was created Baron Panmure in 1831: many of the rest were copied from documents in possession of Thomas Thomson and at the Scottish Record Office, General Register House.
‘Kirk manuscripts’, copies of very miscellaneous papers on ecclesiastical history.
According to the folio catalogue (F.R.186) the volumes were originally marked ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’.
The description of the manuscripts in the folio catalogue (F.R.186) includes the reference: Jac.5.7.7-10.
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.
