Discussion
From the 'Introduction':
The Manuscript which is printed in the following pages, was found at Balnagown Castle, while arranging a large mass of old family papers. It was in very bad condition, the half of one of the leaves being entirely wanting. It is written in a hand of the early part of the seventeenth century ; and internal evidence proves it to have been written previously to the year 1615.
After some inquiries, I was favoured by George Ross, Esq., of Pitcalnie, the heir-male of the earlier family of Ross of Balnagown, with the use of a manuscript of a much more recent date, probably about 1730, which was evidently, to a certain extent, a copy of the older one ; and which contained, in a form nearly entire, not only those parts in which it was defective, but also some further particulars in reference to the Abbots of Fearn.
When I was on the eve of putting the whole to press, I was so fortunate as, by mere accident, to stumble upon a MS. which had belonged to the late Mr. A. Deuchar, containing a recent transcript of the "Cronicle" which was happily complete in those passages where the others were effaced. I have thus been enabled to supply a complete copy of what has every appearance of being a chronicle of considerable antiquity ; and I have had the instructions of Sir Charles W. A. Ross, now of Balnagown, to print it for private circulation among the friends of the family.[1]
The original manuscript that was discovered at Balnagown Castle is currently held by the Tain & District Museum.[2]
