early sasine from skye, reviewed for re-dating after the family produced two slightly different transcripts.

Early sasine from Skye, dated 1612, brought in after the family produced two slightly different transcripts of the same parchment. The two transcripts differ in the names of one witness and one of the boundary clauses. The original was reviewed slowly for any sign of a later overwrite around the contested phrases.
