Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ...of St. Andrews had until then retained a right, tho Lauders having already possessed the larger part of it for some generations. This charter was stolen along with a number of other documents from Grange House, Edinburgh, by a housebreaker, 18th September, 1836, and has never been recovered.
