This poser is taken from the Secretary's Register of Sasines for Perthshire (National Records of Scotland, RS48/1, page 10). It is the introductory clause of a sasine.
The handwriting is fairly clear and the 16th and 17th century alphabet in our guidance section should be rather useful. Some of the abbreviations included may be slightly difficult. Watch out for the letters thorn, yogh, f and s.
