Transcript, late 15th century, by Thomas Deir, notary, of a charter by Marjory, Dowager Countess of Atholl, to the monks of Coupar Angus, of the patronage and lands of the Kirk of Alveth, and of a charter of confirmation by Thomas, Earl of Mar., 1306-1308, 1362-circa 1371.
The charters are dated 28 January and 19 March 1815, but the true dates must be between 7 November 1306 and 5 October 1308, and between 1362 and circa 1371 respectively.
Transumpt, 14 November 1431, of charter, 12 September 1410, by Robert, Duke of Albany etc, Regent of Scotland, confirming charter by Constantine, son of Philip of Lochore, to Hugh, his brother, of the third part of the lands of Petfuran., 12 September 1410.
