Charters And Other Documents Relating To The City Of Edinburgh. A, Issue 6 by J. D. Marwick is a scholarly collection that compiles primary sources illuminating the governance, privileges, and municipal life of Edinburgh from the medieval period through the early modern era. The volume presents Charters, Indentures, Letters Patent, Bonds, and other muniments, dating roughly from 1143 to 1540, together with an introductory narrative and an abstract table of contents. The Preface discusses the national importance of burgh records for understanding Scotland’s institutions and social life, and situates the documents within the broader context of Edinburgh’s royal, ecclesiastical, and civic structures. The contents include foundational charters to the Abbey of Holyrood and St Giles, treaties among the Four Burghs, port and Leith powers, fortifications, fairs, and the governance of the town and its port, as well as the relationship between the Crown, church, and municipal authorities. Originally issued by the Scottish Burgh Records Society in the 19th century, this volume is reprinted for modern readers to access these vital sources on Scotland’s capital.
