David Dei gratia Rex Scottorum omnibus Baronibus suis, et hominibus, et amicis, Francis et Anglis: salutem. Sciatis me dedisse et concessisse Roberto de Brus, Estrahanent, et totam terram a diuisa Dunegal de Stranit usque ad diuisam Randulfi Meschin. Et uolo et concedo ut illam terram et suum castellum bene et honorifice, cum omnibus consuetudinibus suis teneat et habeat; videlicet cum omnibus illis consuetudinibus quas Randulfus Meschin unquam habuit in Carduill et in terra sua de Cumberland, illo die in quo unquam meliores et liberiores habuit. Testibus: Eustacio filio Johannis, et Hugone de Morvilla, et Alano de Perci, et Willelmo de Sumervilla, et Berengario Enganio, et Randulfo de Sules, et Willelmo de Morvilla, et Herui filio Warini, et Aedmundo Camerario. Apud Sconam.

Translation

David by the Grace of God King of the Scots, to all his Barons and men and friends, French and English: greeting. Know that I have given and granted to Robert of Brus, Estrahanent, and all of the land from the march of Dunegal even to the march of Randulf Meschin. And I will and grant that he hold and have that land and its castle, well and honourably, with all its customs: to wit, with whatever customs Randulf Meschin had in Carduill and in his land of Cumberland, on whatever day he had them best and most freely. Witnesses: Eustace son of John and Hugh of Morville and Alan of Perci and William of Sumerville and Berengar Engain and Randulf of Sules and William of Morville and Herui son of Warin, and Aedmund Camerario. At Scone.
