In December 1855 the seven sheet of the 5 foot Plan Dunfermline (Impressions) were sent to Dr Henderson by Capt[ain] Bayly -- and on the margin of Sheet 4 Dr H[enderson] writes "I have written down 'Aqua de Ferm' on the course of the water called the Town Burn -- in 1293 & 1455 it is distinctly named 'Aqua de Ferm' or water of Ferm -- the 'Ferm' of Dunfermline is undoubtedly taken from this Ferm Water, in 1540 it was called "the Tower Burn". And in a note in Pencil on the Sheet a little South of Malcolm Canmore's Tower he writes
"Dun -- the hil
ferm -- name of the water
linn -- the waterfall"
giving this as the derivation of the name of the Parish
Dun ferm line
Dr H[enderson] gives the names and the sites of several Antiquities not on the manuscript plans, and in pencil writes
"the above names and sites are taken from Carte de Dunfermline
"The Monkes bake with ye tree brods'
and do. bake with ye wyte parchment covering"
