Found in 501 Collections and/or Records:
Copies, mostly by Lieutenant-General G H Hutton, 1815-1816, 1819-21, of groups and collections of documents at Lochnell House (folios 9-31, 44), in the possession of Robert Campbell of Ardchattan (folios 32-43) and of William Rose of Montcoffer (folios 65-80, 83-90, 93), and at Panmure (folios 134-235), followed by extracts from manuscripts at the British Museum (folios 236-247)., 1294-1602.
The documents copied range from 1294 to 1602 (many being of the 16th century), with several undated, and refer to transactions quite frequently of land tenure in various parts of the country; but many seem to have little relevance to ecclesiastical antiquities.
Copies, mostly by Lieutenant-General G H Hutton, of charters and other formal documents relating to religious houses in the counties of Banff and of Aberdeen., 1242-1661.
Copies of charters and other formal documents mostly of and relating to churches and religious houses in and near Edinburgh. Most are written by Lieutenant-General G H Hutton, on leaves watermarked 1821, from originals then in possession of Thomas Thomson, or at the General Register House, Edinburgh., 12th century-1569.
Copy, 16th century, of a transumpt taken in 1395 of eleven deeds, circa 1172-1178 and circa 1266-1270, concerning grants of land to members of the Kinninmond family., Circa 1172-1178, circa 1266-1270.
Copy in the possession of the Reverend James Scott, dated Perth, March 29th 1784, of the ‘History of the united Parishes of Monivaird and Strowan’ compiled, circa 1774, by James Porteous of Dalvich, Minister of Monzievaird and Strowan., Circa 1774.
Copy made by the Reverend James Scott, probably between 1774 and 1788, of the Perth register of baptisms, 1561-1582, supplemented by material taken from other records for dates thereafter., 1561-1671.
The manuscript includes notices of Patrick Adamson, later Archbishop of St Andrews (page 43) and John Row, minister of Carnock (page 81). Details of baptisms for July and August 1573 were recorded by him from a detached leaf of the Register and so appear out of sequence at page 222. There is a gap between 1581 and 1614.
Copy made by the Reverend James Scott, probably between 1774 and 1788, of the Perth register of deaths, 1561-1582, supplemented by material taken from other records for dates thereafter., 1561-1623.
The manuscript includes details on members of the Adamson family (relatives of Patrick, Archbishop of St Andrews) (pages 103-112), and notes on Robert Crighton, 6th Lord Sanquhar (page 75) amongst others.
Copy made by the Reverend James Scott, probably between 1774 and 1788, of the Perth register of marriages, 1560-1582, supplemented by material taken from other records for dates thereafter., 1560-1668.

Copy, on paper of the Records of Scotland watermarked 1816, of the cartulary of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity, Soutra, late 14th century, made for Lieutenant-General G H Hutton in an unidentified hand., ?12th century, late 14th century.
Tipped in at the end (page 101) is a copy by Hutton of a charter probably of 12th-century provenance referring to the hospital.
Copy, probably 1796, of `Vitae Episcoporum Dunkeldensium` by Alexander Myln, Official of Dunkeld (who later became Abbot of Cambuskenneth), 1515, made by James Paterson, session clerk, Aberdeen., 1515, 1796.
The copy was made from the original manuscript (Adv.MS.34.5.4). Tipped in at the front are Paterson`s bill (folio iii) and a letter, 1796, to Hutton of Robert Eden Scott, Professor at King`s College, Aberdeen (folio iv).

The Chronicle was compiled probably between 1600 and 1668 by more than one person. Though attributed to John Mercer, town clerk of Perth, the most that can be said is that the original was at one time in his possession and he may have contributed a few entries to it. His predecessor Henry Elder may also have contributed. From 1660 it is almost entirely a register of burials.
