can see, Will you kindly
look at the Name Book of
Alford Parish, & see the reason
for the spelling "Dool", & tell
me which way you think it
would better be written on our
Plans, "Dughall" or "Dool"?;
Please reply early, as my
Parish is ready to forward.

I return this note as your
authority for altering Alford
Plans.

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
