A Royal Seal this time, that of King Charles II to be exact. It is attached to a charter of ratification in favour of Henry Graham of Breckness, confirming his lands in Stromness, Sandwick, Orphir and Kirkwall and St Ola.
The date is April 1669 and, like most of these documents, the material is vellum. The seal is known as the Virginia Seal.
SEAL: Have any of your stupid seals ever performed at a ROYAL Variety Show?!!
ARCHIVER: *patiently* No, Seal.
