Transcriber's notes
BIRK BURN - two Authorities are assigned to Drumbuie using a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.- I am uncertain about the direction in the Situation column - I have transcribed as 'N. by E&c'.
LANG SIKE - there was originally an entry in the transcription table for this name, but it does not appear on the image. Page OS1/10/44/178 contains the entry but had no corresponding row in the transcription table. I therefore have deleted the row here and added one on OS1/10/44/178. Map references 006; 013 have been copied onto the new entry, and should be checked.
