Airthrey in King David I's charter
The charter was written in connection with a dispute between the nuns of North Berwick and the monks at Dunfermline Abbey over the tithes of Airthrey and Cornton. It is undated, but had been granted by 1146.
"Regarding the Tithes of Atherai, David King of Scots, to the sheriffs and bailies of the shire of Stirling greeting. Know ye that I have granted and given to God and the Holy Trinity of Dunfermline and the Abbot and monks there the tithe of the land which Brixwald has in Atherai in excambion for the tithe of the land which the canons have in Cambuskinel. Witnesses, John, bishop, and Duncan, Earl, and Robert burguillun. At Stirling."
