Transcriber's notes
A table entry for "TOWNFOOT BURN", map reference 006, was deleted - it does not appear on the image. The volume index shows the Name on Page 212, but that is incorrect, it appears on Page 213 and I have added a transcription table row to that page.MATTHEW'S FOLLY
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- The index for the volume shows Mathew's Folly and not double-t, either the Name or the index is in error. The name Matthew's Folly persists today, so it is probably the index.
