Notes

This copy of the Bannatyne Club printing of the chartulary of the bishopric of Moray was presented by editor Cosmo Innes to [Robert Cunningham] Graham Speirs (1797-1847), who had gained the sheriffdom of Elgin and Moray in 1835 and as an elder in the Church of Scotland was one of the more senior churchmen to split and form the Free Church of Scotland in the Disruption of 1843. It later found its way into the collection of antiquarian George Stirling Home Drummond (1813-1876), fellow of The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and of The Royal Society of Edinburgh.
