[Note beside 'The Gutter'] - Gutter. A Mire; As. "The road was a perfect gutter." This term Occurs in A very instructive proverb, addressed to those who pretend to trust to Providence, while they are totally regardless of the use of means; "ye're no to lie down in the gutter", and I think that providence will come and tak ye out again. (Jamieson)

[Note beside 'Radel Skellyis'] - Rade. Raid. An Invasion; An attack by violence. A ridiculous enterprise or expedition, as, "Ye made braw raid to the fair yesterday." "Whatten a raid this ye've ha'en". What fine business is this you have been about? That our Ancestors viewed the v. [verb] to ride as the origin of the S. Raid appears from the Sense in which the pret. [preterite] of the v. [verb] occurs in one of our Acts. (Jamieson)

Skellyis. Rugged rocks (Jamieson)
