History
|
The inventory which was made between 1905-1908 originally consisted of 11 folio volumes and embodied the contents of 42 boxes which are placed in the charter room at Darnaway and numbered 1-42. It was revised in 1921 at Kinfauns. A portfolio was discovered in 1911 in the estate office at St Colme, which contained the documents selected for publication by the Report of the Historical Manuscripts Commission (now in Box 45)
