Transcriber's notes
There were 3 prepopulated entries INVERCOE, RUIN [Invercoe] & Site of the HOUSE OF THE MCDONALD, MASSACRED 1692: The Index only has Invercoe, Sheet 31 has Invercoe & Site of the HOUSE OF THE MCDONALD, MASSACRED 1692 [the ruin is the same House] so I have kept those two and deleted RUIN.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
