Transcriber's notes
NO places were pre-entered on this page. There is a note "Polmarlach - See Page 33"Page 33 does consist of an entry for Polmarlach Burn (with slightly different information) - I have made a Polmarlach Burn entry since some facts given here do not appear on the Page 33 entry.
The entry for "DEILS DIKE" does indeed appear on Page 131, but there the pre-entered name is mis-transcribed as "DEWS DIKE" - likewise DEILS STANE (not mentioned on this page) is mis-transcribed as "DEWS STANE" on Page 172
The POLHOTE BURN entry appears in full on Page 181
