Transcriber's notes
Text is lost in the fold for LINPEN RIG, WHYTE'S CLEUCHMEADOWFOOT: there *may* be text missing in the fold but I think the writer may have used Wanlock in place of Wanlock Water, since he was corrected when referring later to just Crawick.
WHYTE'S CLEUCH - not sure about the little symbol after Whyte in the Descriptive Remarks. It *may* be a struck out mistake.
