- Despite its placement in the ‘Reg. Alex. III’ section of the <em>Scone Liber</em>, this charter almost certainly dates from the reign of Alexander II. Stephen of Megginch’s only other appearance on record is as a witness to a charter of Earl Malcolm I of Fife (<em>Laing Chrs.</em>, no. 6), which dates to 1224 × 25 May 1229. John ‘de Aya’, who witnesses <em>Scone Liber</em>, no. 116, is almost certainly the John de la Haye who was sheriff of Perth in the mid-1220s and sheriff of Fife in the late 1220s and early 1230s. John de la Haye appears in charters as late as 1245 (_Lind. Cart._, no. 55; _Camb. Reg._, no. 171). Probably before the following charter, of Duncan of Melginch
