- Comment: I reviewed this article (nominated by Pahunkat) and advised the nominator to put it up for DYK. They haven't done so but I thought it would be a shame to miss this interesting a subject so am nominating it myself. I will complete a QPQ when I get time over the next couple of days.
Improved to Good Article status by Pahunkat (talk) and Shipsview (talk).

Llewee, review follows: article promoted to GA on 6 July' article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; image is properly sourced and licensed; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, the latter parts check out to the sources cited, I will have to AGF on the hunting part as I can't read Latin; this should be good to go once a QPQ is provided - Dumelow (talk) 08:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for nominating this Llewee, I've done the QPQ for you. I like the hook. The latin part was mentioned in the GA review, there's other things in the article it could be replaced by if it isn't permissible here (e.g. self-catering holiday accomodation).

Hi Pahunkat, thanks for the QPQ. I am happy to assume in good faith that the Latin source supports what's in the article and pass this review - Dumelow (talk) 14:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow and Llewee: the key Latin sentence seems to be "Item misse versiis Collybrathane ad venationes Regis iij' xl panes [Also sent to Collybrathane to the King's hunting expeditions, 40 loaves of bread - via Google translate]". @Unoquha: you added the sentence to the article here, do you have a source that identifies Collybrathane and Cultybraggan?

- The placename spelling is somewhat eccentric in this old (1836) edition of the manuscript Latin (appears twice). I can't find it spelled exactly like that elsewhere. There is no reason to think of anywhere else though, in easy reach of Stirling and Perth. Apparently, the place belonged to a royal official called Reddoch or Redeheuch.Unoquha (talk) 13:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
