a man in the miln to grind their corn of Colpinhopes ; but 

 since they got liberty to have a mill in Colpinhopes to grind 

 their own corn, they gave annually half a mark to the miln 

 at Schottun. They laboured their grange of Colpinhopes in 

 winter with two ploughs, and they had there pasture for 20 

 oxen, 20 cows, 500 ewes, and 200 other sheep. Ralph Nanus 

 [or the dwarf] granted 3 acres in Yetham. They had also 

 common pasture there, which was occupied by the miller of 

 Colpinhopes. William de Hawdene, laird of Kyrk-Yethame, 

 gave the monks the advowson of the church of Kyrke-Yethame 

 in Teviotdale, when he imprecated the curse of Almighty God 

 upon whomsoever of his heirs should dispute their right to it. 

 They had at Yetham a safe receptacle for storing up their 

 goods of Colpinhopes, when they apprehended danger from any 

 quarter (Chart. Kel, 175, v.) (Morton, Monastic Annals of 

 Teviotdale, pp. 117-8). 



Trowhope lies immediately between the green hills of Paston, 

 etc., and opens out on College. Robert Muschamp, for the 

 souls of Richard and John, kings of England, and for his 

 king, Henry, gave to the Melrose monks that part of his 

 lands and pasture, in the territory of Hethpol, called Trolhope, 

 from the East side of Ailduneskot to Hethouswyre [both Elsdon 

 and Hotham are still known], and along the syke Southward 

 to Trolhope burn, with liberty to cut wood in the forest [of 

 Cheviot] for building. The prior and canons of Kirkham 

 had the tithes of Trolhope, and obtained a bull from Pope 

 Honorius III., in 1222, commanding the Melrose monks to pay 

 them yearly 50 shillings and 20 pence on St. James's day 

 in the church of St. Gregory at Newton in Glendale. Robert 

 Muschamp died and was buried in Melrose Abbey. 



At Kilham, in the territory of Kilnum, Walter de Kilnum, 

 son of Robert de Scottun, gave the Melrose monks 8 acres 

 of arable land upon Whitlawstele, with pasture for 24 sheep, 

 12 oxen, and 2 horses. This was a confirmatory charter of 

 one of Robert, his father, for the soul of Walter Espec and 

 salvation of his lord, Robert de Ros, and of his own father, 

 and Anmbilie, his mother ; Ganfred Riddl, Ric. le Neun, Thomas 

 Ilderton, Adam de Dunum and William de Palwastun are 

 witness. [Confirmatory charter of Thomas given later].
