Transcriber's notes
I have deleted Tumulus (site of) as a separate entry in List of Names as it doesn't appear in the Index - only Elf Knowe (see also http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/record/rcahms/66139/elf-knowe/rcahms) - and the Descriptive Remarks is a single combined entrycheck Descriptive Remarks for Elf Knowe - the 2nd word (spot?) has been scored out but not replaced, so the sentence doesn't make sense. check line 2 - if it is a correction or another letter? between 'Bucklerhole' and 'the'. It is not an 's' in Stoddart's style.
