In the name of the Holy Trinity, Alexander II confirms to God, St Mary of Coupar, and the monks serving God there, all the grants of his predecessors to the abbey. Furthermore he now grants 10 li of silver which was accustomed to be received annually from the land of Glenisla and 10 merks of silver annually for the sustaining of two monks from the house of Coupar, who will serve and celebrate divine service in the chapel of the Holy Trinity on his island on the Forfar loch. 5 merks which are left from the said 10 li are granted to the monastery of Coupar for lighting the monastery. Further grants of land are made. There is mention of the land of Inchmartin.
