Excerpt from Genealogical Colletions, Vol. 1 of 2: Concerning Families in Scotland

The Collection of Manuscripts formed by Walter Macfarlane was purchased by the Faculty of Advocates in 1785 from his niece Miss Janet Macfarlane, for the sum of twenty-one pounds. Among those manuscripts, in addition to the two volumes of Genealogical Collections - now by the permission of the Faculty published for the first time - were The Geographical Collections, 3 vols., the publication of which is shortly to be undertaken by the Society; Collections relative to several Scottish Families, 2 vols.; Index to the Register of the Great Seal to 1762, 5 vols.; Diplomatum regiorum quoe in publicis archivis extant abbreviationes, 10 vols.; several volumes of transcripts of charters, including the charters of Melrose, Balmerinoch, and other religious houses; and various other transcripts.

The following biographical notice of Walter Macfarlane is taken from The Chiefs of Colquhoun and their Country, by the late Sir William Fraser, vol. ii. pp. 99, 100:

Walter Macfarlane, one of the most laborious and accurate antiquaries of Ins age, was the son and successor of this John by his wife, Helen, daughter of Robert, second Viscount of Arbuthnot. He transcribed with his own hand many old cartularies and muniments deposited in private charter-chests. He was very liberal in allowing access to his valuable collections and transcripts, which are still consulted and often quoted by authors, being regarded as of high authority. To his industry we owe the existence of a copy of the Levenax Cartulary, the original of which is now' lost. He married Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of Alexander, sixth Earl of Kellie.
