About the year 1385, Andrew of Berclay, lord of Garntuly, gave the land of Melros, with the mill, to Jonet of Berclay, the widow of Sir John of Monymous, knight, in quittance of her claim to certain lands of her father John of Berclay. The land was to be held blench for payment of a silver penny at Doun on the Feast of Pentecost yearly, the granter being bound to keep it free from all demand of the yearly rent, in which it was liable to the King, of ten pounds sterling, and four chalders of corn. Among the witnesses to the charter, is William of Berclay of Tolly, lord of Kercow. (Registrum Episcopatus Aberdonensis, vol. ii. pp. 281, 282.)]
