Transcriber's notes
CORSE BURN- The image on this page shows an entry for CORSE BURN, but there was originally no entry in the transcription table. According to the index for this volume, the name CORSE BURN appears only on pages 66 and 133, but there is also an entry on page 185 (in fact there are several instances on CORSE BURN over Dumfriesshire, and elsewhere). The description on this page's entry suggests this is the same stream as in page 185, while pages 66 and 133 seem to refer to a different CORSE BURN. I have added a row to the transcription table on this page.
COWS' WYND
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- The struck out word 'occupation' substituted with 'public' is linked to the description of the original usage of Cows' Wynd.
- The writer in Descriptive Remarks wrote 'Commor' - I think 'Common' is meant.
