Transcriber's notes

River Annan not present in the transcription table for details to be entered.

The spelling of Ashy Cleuch was settled after the original notes were written by Philip Munro; this is evident from changes made and the note, all made in red ink by a different hand.

In general, the Situation of each Name is added later in red ink by a different hand.
