Transcriber's notes
BROOMFIELD: two Authorities are assigned to Crawick Mill by a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.ST BRIDE'S WELL: the comment regarding the name in the Various modes column contains a word which I transcribe as 'runner', but I am not sure this is correct.
The Descriptive Remarks regarding ST BRIDE'S WELL are continued in the following two pages (quotation from History of Sanquhar).
