Description
John, king of Scots, notes that an inquest made by his capella (chancery) found that the constable of the castle of Dundee had been in possession of the lands pertaining thereto, and that he should have the right, along with the baillie, of appointing a grieve for the third part of the villa of Dundee which belongs to the castle, the right to grind corn at the mill of Dundee, the right to buy beer from various brewhouses at a set price, and the right to take herring, mullets, and other fish from various boats and ships in port at various set prices. King John thus grants all of these privileges along with the office of constable to Alexander Scrymgeour, given by the wish of his son Edward or of the guardian John Soulis.
