Continued entries/extra info

[Note contd from P 19]
... proper spelling and write Descriptive Remarks etc.

Is there a place at the S.E. [South East]
end of the island called Maidensbed:
Enquiry to be made and
descriptive remarks to be written.
Also authority to be given
for the name The Pilgrims.
Pilgrim Haven. Should
not this be written Pilgrim's
Haven? not Pilgrim Haven?

Black Haugh, "A black rocky
ridge on the west side of the
island " etc.
This name is rather doubtful
Haugh is a designation for
low ground but Heugh is
often applied to such objects,
as the one above described.
Therefore Should not the
name be Black Heugh?

Will you have the goodness
to give as much information
as you can get concerning
the priory and of St Adrians
Chapel referred to in another
part of this sheet .

Supplied. See Trace &
form 21 sent herewith.

Pilgrims' Haven is the
correct name. Revd [Reverend] Mr Merson
and Mathew Laird Crail may be
used for Authorities.

Black Heugh is the correct
name. It was written Haugh
in mistake.
Authorities
Mathew Laird Fisherman Crail
Alexander Tailor Fisherman Crail.

The only information I was
able to gather Concerning the
Priory & St Adrians Chapel
was only a repetition of what
is stated in the New Stat: Acc: [New Statistical Accout]
by the Rev. [Reverend] W. Merson of Crail
and Sibbalds History of Fife. J.M.D
