Transcriber's notes
Skelston Burn - Situation - check spelling of 'Crawfurdton' - the curvature at the top left arm suggests an 'a' not a 'u', but it is written a bit atypical and am not sure if an 'a' was his intention, given that it is spelt wrong (page 212 shows correction to an 'o', but I don't this that is what is written here).
