Transcriber's notes

Difficult to read - some parts missing at gutter edge.

Caledonian Railway - the word 'Railways' between 'Coltness' and 'sect[ion]' has been stroked out, in context it now reads ' Wishaw and Coltness Sect[ion]'. In the last sentence 'junctions of Rails' and 'adjoining Parish' have been underlined.
