Valuation of tlie rents of 

 tlie church lands in 

 Scotland, MS. Bib!. 

 Karl. N". 4013 %■ 



* According to the hook of Aflignations, fcveral minlf- 

 "eri in Moray had fmaller falarics than the minirjum ftated 

 tvKnox. [Sha-w's ffijl 0/ Moray, f. 4i.y ^ See alfo Arnot's 

 jfiftof Edinburgh, p. 96. 



t This price, which occurs fo frequently for wheat, was 

 the convcrfion price agreed upen by the landlord and 

 tenant, as Fleetwood obferTes, after the year 1563. When 

 we lind rye and oats alfo at the fame price, it muft be un- 

 derllood, that in th.' leales of fame farms various grains 

 were by agreement averaged at one price, which, I a(3u- 

 ally find, was a general practice. 



i The valuation was probably made between the years 

 1561 and 1563. But this tranfcript contains the names 

 of ItlTecs of later and difcordant dates ; e. g. in Sheet J9, 

 p. I, the earl of Moray is mentioned as regent, who was 

 in that office from 1567 to 1570 ; and fheet 97, p. 2, men- 

 tions WiUiam Scot as direiSor of the chancery, who did 

 not enter upon that office till 1592. [Scot'j Staggering fate, 

 /. 161] It is prope. t obfcrve that converCoD prices were 

 generally lower than the real market prices.
