David Lindsay, earl of Crawford, has granted and sold, and by this charter confirms to God and St Mary, and to the cathedral church of Aberdeen, the dean, canons and chapter, an annual rent of 26 s 8 d from a tenement with pertinents in which William Blindseil, burgess of Aberdeen, now resides, in the crossroads, for a certain sum of money paid through Thomas Nairn, executor of Alexander and John Caron, late canons of the said church. These canons ordained in their last wishes and left to the church the sum to pay for anniversaries to be celebrated twice yearly, namely at the feasts of SS Vitalis and Gorgonius, the martyrs, which are 28 April and 9 August {September} for their souls and the souls of their parents and all the faithful departed.
