‘Diplomata Regia’: transcripts, 1754-1760, and undated, of the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, made for Walter Macfarlane.
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.

‘Excerpts from an "Inventary of Writs in the Charter house of Hamilton” Vol 2ᵈ. ...` in the hand of James Chalmers.
The excerpts were probably made for the benefit of James Chalmers` uncle, George Chalmers, in preparation for the third volume of the latter`s ‘Caledonia’.
The date of the manuscript has been suggested by the watermark of the sheets, 1812.
‘Extracta ex variis chronicis Scotiae’, a transcript made for Walter Macfarlane of Macfarlane, 1738, taken from the original manuscript, Adv.MS.35.6.13, a collection of extracts of chronicles, late 15th century-early 16th century, mostly taken from Fordun and Boece with extensive annotations in the hand of Sir William Sinclair of Roslin.
Later additions in the original are here collected at the end (pages 249). The folio numbers of the original are given in the margin, and the index which is placed at the beginning in the original, is here transferred to the end (page 263).
‘Extracta ex variis chronicis Scotiae’, an incomplete transcript, early 18th century, taken from the original manuscript, Adv.MS.35.6.13, a collection of extracts of chronicles, late 15th century-early 16th century, mostly taken from Fordun and Boece with extensive annotations in the hand of Sir William Sinclair of Roslin.
A number of items in the Wodrow collection are in the same hand, and the copyist appears to have worked fairly frequently for Robert Wodrow. Later additions in the original are here collected at the end (page 159) and partially in a different hand, but the copyist breaks off in mid-entry at folio 296 verso of the original. The folio numbers of the original are given in the margin, and the index, which is placed at the beginning in the original, is omitted.
Fair copy of `Diplomatum veterum collectio`, being Richard Augustine Hay`s transcripts of charters and other formal documents contained in cartularies of mediaeval Scottish religious houses and the archives of the city of Edinburgh.
The copy was probably begun in 1696 (the date quoted on the title page) and not completed until 1701 or later (34.1.10(iii), folio 294 verso), made apparently by a copyist from the transcripts made by Hay when he was in Scotland between 1686 and 1689.

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.
