Dear transcriber, please can I point you in the direction of the FAQs to help and support you in your transcriptions.
Please do not expand in the middle of the word. Names are expanded to full without brackets, Co. is expanded as Co. [County]. This is all explained in the FAQs which are found on this link. There are also approved pages to use as an example.
http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/transcribe/forums/transcriptions/faqs-frequently-asked-questions
You also need to transcribe the info from the headers and put the text from the situation box in the desc as follows: [situation] details, then a new line for the desc.
Please also do not assume the writer has made an error when the heading is various modes of spelling. The local accent may have sounded like Gladsmur. Please transcribe as seen, do not make grammatical or spelling corrections to our modern standards.
I have completed this page for you as an example, please take note of the formats.
Please also visit us on the forums where you can ask questions to aid your work.

This name applies to an extensive Lime Stone Qauarry on the farm of W. [West] Handaxwood. The stone is obtained partly by opencast or Quarrying from the surface; but wherever the ground is of a nature to admit of mining is resorted to the stone being obtained by this process with more expedition & economy. The shafts or Galleries are driven nearly horizontal and some of them penetrate about 300 yards. The Water runs off by a natural fall; and the stone is carried from the Quarry to the Kiln (about 1/2 a mile) by a Railway on an inclined plane These works are the largest and produce the best Lime of any works for many miles round. They are occupied by Robert Gray. |
