Transcriber's notes

How Burn - Because of the page fold, two names are partially obscured - probable reading -"Blairmuckhill" and "Linlithgowshire".
Old Hall - Because of the page fold, two words are incomplete -"Inglis", & "Sons". It is also possible that a word is missing in front of "the ground around".
