Transcriber's notes

Annotations in red and/or green ink have not been transcribed, with one exception: on page 60, in the list of land parcels in Randyfoord, the handwritten note "(Duke of Hamilton)?" has been placed immediately below Honourable Charles A. Murray's name for Robert Johnstone's part.

Regarding the second parcel of land listed for Grahams Saltcoats on page 61: unsure what the two "do" references pertain to for John Hay's part - mods to check.
