Transcriber's notes
DEIL'S BARN-DOOR- The original name in the transcription table was DEWS BARN DOOR which was changed to DEIL'S BARN-DOOR. There is some doubt about the hyphen. In Volume 15 page 5 and Volume 30 Page 51, there is no hyphen, but the examiner has ticked the hyphenated version here.
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- Authorities are assigned to Durisdeer by a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.
- some text on the image is obscured at the binding.
