Transcriber's notes

A rather messy page!

Nether Black Law and Cairn seem to share the entry, also- in the situation column it states: "On Nether Black Law _ Summit". _

Auchtitench Lane: Ext. at beginning of the line in "Spelling" column-I do not know what the abbreviation means.

In the situation column we read "On the Wn. [Western] or N. [North] Wn. [Western] Parish Boundary.

Friar-minnan Hill did not have an entry space however I have submitted one.

Glenmuir Water appears to be tagged onto Auchtitench Lane entry.
