Thomas, earl of Mar, for the salvation of his soul and those of his ancestors and successors, has given, granted, and now confirms to God and the Blessed Mary of Aberdeen, and the dean and chapter of the same church of Aberdeen, the right of patronage of the church of Kildrummy within the bishopric of Aberdeen. From the revenue a chaplain is to be supported who will celebrate divine service for his soul and those of his ancestors and successors to the honour of St James the apostle in the church of Aberdeen.
