It shows a long history of the Scottish Thanes including the dates and etc. This needs added as a source for many of the Calder-Caudle-Cawdor's as it details much, and should be a valid source as it is straight from the papers at the Cawdor Castle Charter Room in Scotland.
Also https://www.electricscotland.com/books/pdf/ScotsPeerageVol5.pdf , which by itself might be considered a questionable source until you look at the footnotes detailing the original sources, all which appear more than adequate.
