Transcriber's notes

"Braewick" is spelt "Breiwick" in its entry on page 106.
Suspect the spelling of Mr Lisk in the Authorities should be Leask.
From different ink used the version of the name " Little Lyri Geo" has been Re-submitted - this annotation being indicated in another name book.
Alteration to the names "Little Lerri Goe" & "The Kame" initialled "WF" [William Fraser] - unable to decipher the initials to the alteration to the name "Little Leiri Geo" (before its Re-submission).
