]]> At Perth on the [blank] day of the month of April in the year of God 1536. On that day the honourable master Alexander Menzies of Rannoch, son and apparent heir to Robert Menzies of Weem, Knight, on the one part, and John Campbell legitimate brother of James Campbell of Lawers, on the other part have bound and pledged each other for their lifetimes as follows below. That is to say, the said John has pledged for manrent and the said Alexander for maintenance that each other should always take the other's part both in peace and war in all honorable and lawful actions, causes, and quarrels excepting our sovereign Lord the King and especially for the defense, keeping, using and enjoying of all and sundry of the lands of Rannoch and the woods and forests of the same. And either of them shall be absolute and true to either one at all times and to supply and defend each other with their bodies, lands, goods, plots, and farmhouses along with pertinents. They shall also give each other the best counsel they can. And they shall, with both giving their advice, lawfully choose an appropriate man for the keeping of the entire lands of Rannoch which the said Alexander has of the King's grace in fee and heritage. This keeper is to answer to them regarding all and sundry profits of the said woods and forests which the said Alexander and John shall equally divide between them, and if this keeper does not please them, they shall remove him and put another in his place, with both giving their advice, as often as they deem necessary. Moreover, the isle and loch within the lands of Rannoch that the said John has in liferent of the said Alexander shall be ready at all times to both with both equally incurring the expenses for the keeping of the said isle. And for fulfilling, obeying and keeping of all and sundry points mentioned above, both the said Alexander and John have bound and pledged each other for their lifetime by the faith and certitude in their bodies in the sure form of obligation that can be devised under the pain of prior inability and infamy without any renunciation. Whichever of them should break this present bond or any point thereof shall pay to the other that had kept the promise the sum of 250 marks of the usual money of Scotland all together for damage and losses that should happen to be sustained through it. And thereupon for further corroboration they swore upon the Holy Evangelists. In witness thereof because they had no proper seal of their own with them, they went before a public notary and witnessed the seal of Sir William Ramsay, Public Notary that was placed upon the document until both of the present parties should have their own proper seals. And they have signed the document with their own hand and for further corroboration, they caused the said notary to write on the same the aforesaid day and place. Before these witnesses: James Campbell of Lawars, Archibald Campbell his only and apparent heir, George Limmisdane, John Limmisdane, Walter Ramsay Public Notary.

Obverse: King in majesty seated on a throne with sceptre. The throne is flanked by two shields with lions rampant and two lions crouch at the base of the throne. Four annulets are visible, two above the throne and two below, to either side of the king's feet. Much of the legend has worn off, but the visible portion reads: 'IACOBVS DEI GRACIA REX SCOTORUM' (James, by the grace of God, King of Scots).

Reverse: Arabesque foliage backgrounds an image of the king on horseback, charging with raised sword and shield emblazoned with the lion rampant. One annulet is visible on the hind part of the caparison.]]>
