This book is a collection of charters, or legal documents, relating to two Scottish noble families: the Melvilles and the Leslies. The charters cover a period of several centuries, starting in the fifteenth century and continuing into the nineteenth century. They provide valuable insights into the social and political history of Scotland during this time, and shed light on the relationships between the nobility, the monarchy, and the Church.
