It's the Royal Warrant for the raising of the 90th Regiment of Foot.
This document, which is dated the 10th February 1794, authorised Thomas Graham of Balgowan, Perthshire to organise a regiment made up of ten companies.
By June 1794 the 90th Regiment of Foot (Perthshire Volunteers) was at full strength with 1000 men.
The warrant was signed by King George III in the top left hand corner, and is on display at Low Parks Museum in Hamilton.
