Transcriber's notes

There is no explanation set out by O.S. officers for altering the spelling from that of the local informants to that provided subsequently by Baxter Gray of Broughty(?) Ferry. In any event, 'Sitmelane' is the form actually used on published map Sheets 98-8 (1:2500) and 98 (1:10,560).
The index entry has also been altered from Sitmelane to Sitmylane.
