A single-sheet Scottish royal proclamation issued by Charles II at Edinburgh on 15 March 1682. It enforces the twelfth Act of the current Parliament by forbidding the import or wearing of silk lace, white thread lace, and point lace on apparel after 1 April, on pain of 500 merks Scots and confiscation of the garments. It allows white thread lace or point only on ruffs, cravats, bands, handkerchiefs and night linen, and also forbids the new practice of 'gestiging' or scratching silk stuffs and silk lace on liveries.
