Transcriber's notes

KELLO SIKE and KELLO WATER - there is an abbreviation in the Authorities between 'History of Sanquhar' and 'Revd. Dr. Simpson' (the latter is the author of this book). I have noted this abbreviation is used in the long Parish description on Page 1 of this volume. Forum help sought. On discussion it could either be 'of' (example Page 233 'bridge of one') or 'P' (for per, example Page 274 'Parish of'). I think it is probably 'of' and so transcribed.
