John Knollis, burgess of Aberdeen, grants to his son John his land on the west side of the 'Gaste Raw', land presently occupied by the granter, having been acquired from David Blabir: to be held from the granter, paying therefore to the late Laurence Leith's heirs 20 s yearly. Also the patronage of the altar of the most holy precursor of our Lord Jesus Christ, blessed John the Baptist, situated in the parish church of the most glorious patron St Nicholas.
