This is a preliminary draft of a transcription of the register copy of the Testament Dative of James Hamiliton of Allanshaw, Hamilton, Lanarkshire, dated February 1666.
The image was good and clear in full colour, but the writing was very difficult to read and in the Scottish vernacular.
Indecipherable words or letters have been replaced with -
