Alexander, king of Scots, in exchange for the teind of bread paid in his own household and that of his queen, and all rights which the canons of Scone were accustomed to have in the royal kitchens and larders, and for the teinds which similarly they were accustomed to take up in the lands of Blair, grants to God, St Michael of Scone and the canons serving God there, his lands of Great Blair and Little Blair except two and a half carucates of land in Great Blair which are granted to the monks of Coupar.
