This extract from the Records of the Burgh of Edinburgh is easily understood by any English reader with a little exposure to Middle English orthography. Go and see this and many others\for yourself at British History online. Since Scotland was independent then (long before Jimmy One and Six) there is no reason to think they were using any language other than that spoken by the prominent citizens. And it's not a different language from that spoken in London, just a different flavour of the same one.
