Muniment Hill 61 was created on August 27, 1736, and written by William Wilson in Edinburgh.  The second part was written July 29, 1745, by Mungo Graham.  It has been transcribed/translated and is now available for CMW members to read on the website under Muniments.

The first part written in 1736 is a bond (IOU) for £9,085 from Walter McFarlane the 19^th Baron of Arrochar, 2^nd Baron of Ardess and 16^th Chief of Clan MacFarlane to James Graham the 1^st Duke of Montrose and 4^th Marquess of Montrose.

The second part written in 1745 is a discharge endorsed by Mungo Graham of Gorthie indicating completed payment of the bond in the name of the late James Duke of Montrose and his son William the 2^nd Duke of Montrose and Marquess of Graham who succeeded his father as Duke on January 7^th, 1742.
