and conclusion of a treaty of peace with Eng-land. The outward 

 journey was from the north-east, and as a most interesting- record

Thus end the entries so far, the return journey being per- 

 formed by the West Coast, Ayr, Kilmarnock, and Glasgow, and 

 largely through the aid of " gydis," this route being- evidently 

 much less frequented than that by the north-east. 



With the notice of another rapid visit, by the west, in April, 

 1498, on this topic, the published accounts of the Lord Tligh 

 Treasurer come to an end, and the extracts given may suffice to 

 show the importance in mediajval times, both of the route in 

 question and ir>t. John's Kirk of Dairy.
