'CHARTER OF EARL JOHN concerning a TOFT in DUNDEE, and concerning the PERAMBULATION of DURNACH, and concerning the LIBERTY of the MILL.'

'JOHN of Scotland, Earl of Chester and Huntingdon,' grants to the monks of Lundors a toft in Dundee next the toft of St. Clement towards the west; and a fishery (a stake-net), in the Tay 'next the fishery which I gave to Lord Henry of Brechin, facing Portencrag,' to be held in frankalmoign. 'I have granted also to them that the land which was perambulated between Great Durnach and Logie Durnach, in the presence of myself, and of the Lord J[ohn], abbot of Lundors and other good men, should be for ever in common, as was acknowledged on the oaths of those who perambulated that land; and that in the future no perambulation shall be made between my lands and theirs, but they shall have those marches which they had in my father's time and in my time, without molestation. I also grant that when the monks wish and are able to make mills on their lands none of my successors shall impede the men residing on their lands from going freely and quietly to the mills, together with all their suit and multure, although they were accustomed to attend my mills so long as they were without mills of their own.'
