notes
If the charter is from the thirteenth century then mention of Abbot Robert suggests that this charter dates to the abbacy of Robert de Keldelth from 1240 to 1252. There is a possible alternative, though, for the thirteenth century - Robert de Berwick, abbot from 1198 to 1202. However, if it is a fourteenth century charter it could date from the abbacy of Robert de Crail, 1314-1328.

notes
Appendix III contains lists of charters in registers of infeftments and alienations. Some of these registers fall within the pre-Reformation period, but it is not clear what the dates of each of the charters are. There are a few references to saints, eg. St Margaret's Stane on pages 469 and 470, lodgings, chapel and garden of St Catherine on page 473, croft of the chapel of St John the Baptist and glebe of St Leonard on page 475, and glebe of lands of St John on page 486.
