IN 1280 T0 SIR WILLIAM DE ST.CLAIR, FIRST OF ROSLYN.
ALEXANDER, etc. Cum Nicholaus pistor quondam serviens noster, nobis resignaverit, per fustim et baculum, terram de Innerleth, cum pertinentiis suis, quam idem Nicholaus de antecessoribus nostris et nobis quondam tenuit, per chartam bonae memoriae Willielmi Regis Scotorum illustris: Noveritis, nos, eandam terram de Innyreth, dedisse, concessisse, et hac prasenti charta me confirmasse, WILLIELMO DE SANCTO CLARO, militi, et heredibus suis: Tenendam et habendum, sibi et heredibus suis, de nobis et heredibus nostris, cum omnibus justis pertinentiis. Concessimus etiam evidem Willielmo, et heredibus suis, ut bladum suum de domo sua propria molant ad molendinum nostrum, libere, absque multura aliqua inde danda, sed homines sui multuram dent. Testibus Willielmo de Soulys Justiciario Loadoniae, Hugone de Perisby, Thoma Rundulph, Simone Fraser, Nicholao de Haya, et Nicholao de Vetere Ponte. Apud Hadington, octavo die Aprilis, auuo regni nostri tricesimo primo.
The seal is white wax, the tack, parchment, the King a horseback, the horse covered with a cloth, upon which is seen a lion rampant in a double tressure [border] floure and contre floure [alternate fleur-de-lys]; the reverse, the King in a seat of justice.
In the reign of King William the Lion (1165-1214) these lands were held of the crown by "Reginaldus janitor Castelli de Edinburgh", after whom they were granted by King Willium to "Ailifo, pistori meo, per servitium sui corporis" (vide Charta apud Caatellum Puellarum, Roslyn Chartulary). This was followed later on by a charter from the same king to "Nicholao filio Ailif, Pistori meo", confirming him in the lands of Innerleith formerly held by Reginald and by Ailif, and on the resignation of Nicholas in 1280 a charter issued as above to SIR WILLIAM DE ST.CLAIR, which is the first record of the Roslyn family acquiring Scottish lands. Innerleith was afterwards given to the family of Towres, with reservation of the superiority, whereupon there is yet a charter of inquisition, and a retour (1525) of Innerleith in Roslin's charter-chest, justifying what is above mentioned.
It is thought that the office of Panetarius accompanied these lands.
