[Remark]
* The derivation of the name of this farm is apparently a misnomer, - as taken from the
neighbouring Lakes. - The name no doubt originated in feudal times from the Proprietor
or tenant of this farm paying "Mail" or a Sum of money to freebooters or others for the
security of his property thereon - and probably the original and Correct name is
simply Mailing. - And which is the Scotch term now or recently in use, for the par-
ticular period during which a farm is held by a Tenant, JB Junor.
or simply - a farm -
