Transcriber's notes
MOOR PLANTATION: part of the text on the image is lost at the binding.SANQUHAR MOOR - the New Statistical Account cited has an abbreviation which I think is Ds. for Dumfries [Volume 4 of the New Statistical Account of Scotland, 1845]. Note also the correction of the Authority name Effleck, which appears on other pages, to Affleck here.
