Translation:
Lord Duncan Campbell of Lochawe sends greetings to our beloved brother Dugald, our bailiff of all our lands of Glenorchy and Lochawe with their pertinents to the sheriff. Since we have conceded and given to our dearest son Colin Campbell, a youth, all the lands of our property of Glenorchy with the pertinents and our lands written below: to wit, four pennylands of the land of Achykynnay with the isle of Elandoriach, two pennylands of the land of Kelleag, five pennylands of the land Fernoch, five pennylands of land from the two Inverynyums, a pennyland of land from Cragbamoryium, two pennylands of land from Upper Sonnocham lying in our barony of Lochawe within the sheriffdom of Ergadie. We instruct and order you, once the present letters have been seen, without delay, to make an inheritable state and sasine by the delivery of earth and stone as is the custom, to our aforementioned son Colin according to the tenor of the letter to him. In order to accomplish that effectively, we grant to you by the tenor of the present letters our full power. In witness of which deed, our seal has been affixed to the present letters, to be valid after the donation of this our sasine at castle Egynachan on the twentieth day of the month of December in the year of our Lord, 1432.
