Notes
NLS, Adv. MS 15.1.18, no. 66 The earldom of Mar was under dispute at this time between the sons of Morgan and the son (and son-in-law) of Gillecrist. By renewing his father’s gift to the canons, Malcolm was seeking to establish himself as the rightful heir to the earldom. It may be for this reason that it was not copied into the priory’s cartulary.
