James II confirms various charters, including that of William Scowle (Scougall?), burgess of Perth, in which William, in praise and honour of Almighty God and his most blessed mother Mary, St Michael the archangel and all the heavenly host, granted 6 merks annual rent to the abbot and convent of Scone.
