He declares that the place called in the Scottish tongue Inchaffray is assigned for ever to the exercise of religion accorging to the rule of St Augustine. He then specifies by name the four churches: St Cathan of Aberuthven, St Patrick of Strageath, St Kessog of Auchterarder, and St Bean of Kinkell
