This 16th Century document is a notarial instrument, with two seals, it is unusual and rare being in two written parts. The lower half is a copy of a charter of sale by Adam Brison, son and heir of late James Brison, burgess of Perth, with consent of his spouse Janet, in favour of Nigel Neilson, of an annual rent of £12 scots from property in the burgh of Perth on north side of North Street, the bounds of property being given; dated at Perth, 11th November 1575.
The notary is Henry Eldar (he is the writer of the document) Two seals are appended, one possibly being that of Patrick Inglis.
It is very likely that the transaction is recorded in the notarial protocol book of Henry Eldar, which is held in National Records of Scotland.
Bowler and Binnie would like to thank: Alan Borthwick and Lindsey Kennedy (National Records of Scotland) for their research and information.
