Notice from David II that since he is giving to God and the Blessed Mary of Aberdeen, and the chapter and college of canons, the parkland of 'Galchull' with pertinents within the sheriffdom of Banff, there are also other privileges that are granted along with it, e.g. no one is to hunt etc without licence of the chapter etc

Dauid Dei gratia rex Scottorum omnibus probis hominibus suis ad quos presentes litere peruenerint salutem . Sciatis quod licet alias dederimus Deo et beate Marie de Aberden necnon capitulo et collegio canonicorum eiusdem ibidem Deo seruientibus et inperpetuum seruituris totum parcum nostrum de le Galchull cum pertinentiis infra vicecomitatum de Bamf in puram et perpetuam elemosinam prout in carta nostra inde sibi confecta plenius continetur {. . .}
