Transcriber's notes
RIVER NITH- The Descriptive Remarks mentions a "Thrinhill", is this "Thornhill", which is downstream from Sanquhar?
MENOCK WOOD
- Descriptive Remarks mentions "Elim trees", is this "Elm trees"?
An entry for "Hunters Butt" has been struck out with the reason:
It is not a Know butt, a name for a patch surrounded by a wood not a place for archery, as it might imply the Name is cancelled as being unnecessary, [initialled] MD. [M. Donohue]
