- Description
- Robert, king of Scots, has confirmed that donation which Roger de Quincy, earl of Winchester, constable of Scotland, made to Lindores abbey of 200 cart-loads of heather from the moor of Kinloch (FIF) annually for the support of their house, and of all the peats from the peatary of Monagrey (FIF), and no-one else should dig peats without the license and wish of the monks, nor should the monks give or sell, nor in any way alienate or convert anything, unless in the uses of the said house; and one acre in the said moor to them, next to the where they will dig the peats where they can dry the peats; and one house next to the nearest ford, which is called ‘Ethywyn’ (poss. Gaddon, Collessie parish, FIF), on the eastern side, in the field of ‘Thoriston’ (in or near Kinloch, FIF), containing two acres of land, to which they can draw their heather and peats, and common pasture on his moor of Kinloch for ten sheep and two cows for the work of the their keeper who keeps the house and fuel; and free right of way for the monks and their men with their oxen and carts, and the oxen who draw the carts may have right of common pasture on the moor from when they begin to take away the heather and peat until the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (8 September); holding in perpetuity, as the earl’s charter attests, saving the king’s service.
[Roger de Quincy's donation is 3/23/26 (Simpson, De Quincy, no. 17).]
