Muniment Hill 50 was created June 4^th and June 9th, 1720.  It has been transcribed/translated and is now available for CMW members to read on the website under Muniments.

This is lengthy document including inhibitions (form of debt enforcement or lien) and adjudications (binding method of dispute resolution) initiated by James Graham the 1^st Duke of Montrose and 4^th Marquess of Montrose against Alexander MacFarlane the younger and 7^th of Gartartan and Andrew MacFarlane elder of Gartartan and 6^th Baron regarding a minute (legal document with terms and conditions) of a land sale dated 5^th of April 1720.  It appears that James Duke of Montrose is through legal means working towards what we now know as a foreclosure on extensive MacFarlane land holdings.     

Be sure to login at the website first, then select "Clan MacFarlane" from the menu and then select "Muniments". The actual .pdf file will be available for you to open at the bottom of the page. Cheers!
