Translation
David, King of the Scots, to all good men of his whole land, French and English and Galwegians: greeting. Know that I have given and granted to Robert the Brus, in fee and heritage, to him and his heir, the valley of Anant, in forest, on both sides of the water of Anant, as the marches are from the Forest of Seleschirche as far as his land extends towards Stradnitt and towards Clud, freely and quietly as any other forest of his is best and most freely held. Wherefore I forbid that any one hunt in the aforesaid forest unless by his authority, on pain of forfeiture of ten pounds, or that any one go through the aforesaid forest unless by a straight road appointed. Witnesses: Walter the Chancellor and Hugh of Moreuill and Walter son of Alan and Odenell of Umfrauill and Walter of Lindesei and Richard of Moreuill. At Stap....rtune.
