Transcriber's notes

WALD-TREE KNOWES:
- A transcription table entry was created for WALD-TREE KNOWES, map reference 014 copied from Page 311, the latter had an entry for this Name, but it is not on that image;
- In Various modes, it is slightly ambiguous whether the name is Walltree or Walttree. I selected the former.

BRECKAGH BURN
- In Various Names, someone seems to have inserted a hyphen into Brackaw to make the name Brack-aw.
- The 4 Authorities are assigned to Durisdeer using a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.
