Transcriber's notes
Auchensaugh Hill. The Description entry appears to be intended to read together with that for "Cairn" on the same page.Cairn. No separate entries are given for Spelling or Authorities (see above) and the Description text spreads over the Situation and part of the Authority column. It appears that this entry has been used by the surveyor to make some general comments in addition to describing the particular feature. The portion of text relating to "Cairn" transcribed into "Continued entries etc" appears to have been written by a different person to the remainder of the text.
