The property is in the Crownerlands near Almond (Haning) Castle, in Morningside (Muiravonside) parish in Stirling district (today's West Lothian).  The sasine identifies the acreage and buildings on each plot of land as well as former owners, including Alexander Crawford and Fisher's grandfather Robert Fisher. It also indicates how to pay rent in Scots money and in kind, including milled wheat.  The document is a legal act signed by Ker. It is written by lawyer John Eiston and witnessed in Linlithgow by Eiston and Robert and William Bell, just like a modern-day legal document.  There are 40 lines of text (recto).
