This entry is numbered 1522 in the printed in Registrum Secreti Sigilli (The Register of the Privy Seal) ed. M Livingston, (Edinburgh, 1908), volume 1, no.1522
Note: ‘i’; and ‘j’ were interchangeable, so Iohne is Johne; ‘Master’ likely means a university graduate.
Jaj is a correction of 1m – Latin for 1 mille, i.e 1, 000; vc – ‘v’ is Latin for 5 and the superscript ‘c’ stands for centum, i.e 100. So the year date is 1507. ‘xxj’ is 21 the final i’ is elongated and so is written as a ‘j’. Up to 1600, the New Year began on the 25 March.
Master Martyne Makgillemartyne was the minister at Trotternish. He had died by May 1536 as can be seen from the following entry in the Register of the Privy Seal

A group of 16 men match one another as Martins there. 3 lived in Maligar. 2 of the male ancestors migrated to Prince Edward Island and one stayed on Skye.
