Transcriber's notes

This entry also contains the narrative 'This name originally applied to the upper part of Tofts Voe, if not to Tofts Voe itself: but appears to have gone out of use in that application. Grunnr, shallow Vogr, bay'. This is written across the Authority and Situation columns.
Burn of Grunnavoe has been incorrectly entered as Burn of Grunnafirth
