To have common pasture in the moor of Erbentoly in our
lands of Incheturfy
Register of Dunfermline: Charter 360, page 246.
Robert I (r.1306 to 1329).
This was a charter of Robert I
allowing common pasture and the collection of cartloads
of turf from near Airntully, about 8 miles north of
Perth, viz:
...common pasture in the common moor of Erbentoly and
Mukyrsy in our tenement of Kyncleuyn for 40 animals,
oxen and cows, and 100 sheep; and common in the same
moor for 60 carts of turves annually for the work of
the same religious and their men living in their lands
of Incheturfy with free entry and exit from the same
moor....
......communem
Pasturam in communi mora de Erbentoly 7 mukyrsy infra
tenementum nostrum de Kyncleuyn pro xl animalibus Bobis
7 vaccis 7 centum ouibus 7 communam in eadem mora pro
sexaginta plaustratis turbarum annuatim ad opus ipsorum
Religiosorum 7 hominum suorum terram suam de Incheturfy
inhabitantium cum libero introitu 7 exitu ad eandem
moram.........
 Interpretation
It will be seem from the map where these various places
are (see Adair's map of 1683 - The
Mappe of Straithern, Stormont, & Cars of Gourie with
the rivers Tay and Ern).
The common moor would have been
between Airntully and Mukyrsy, with access allowed from
Incheturfy for collecting the turves and purposes of
pasture.
