William, king of Scots grants to God, the church of Blessed Mary of Dryburgh and the canons serving God there, that half carucate of land in Ednam which Archibald abbot of Dunfermline and other honest men gave to them on my order and perambulated in exchange for that half carucate of land which King David, his grandfather, gave to Nicholas the clerk in the same toun etc.
