Translation
David king of Scots to all his worthy men in the shire of Edinburgh, Greeting: I forbid that anyone should take anything from the land that I have given in alms to the church of Holyrood in Edinburgh, unless by licence and consent of the canons serving God and Holyrood there, that is, neither in grass nor in peats or other things, unless by the consent of the aforesaid canons. As witness, John the bishop. At Edinburgh.
