- Notes
- Saer de Quincy first gave Abbots Deuglie to Cambuskenneth sometime between 1195 and 1203 (Camb. Reg., no. 71), a donation which was confirmed by King William (RRS, ii, no. 431; 1/6/398) by 7 July 1203. The warrandice clause of this charter makes clear that Duncan son of Hamelin, a man who had been one of Ness of Leuchar’s chief officers, had been preventing the alienation of the land to Cambuskenneth.
