| WHITE HILL | White Hill , | Thomas Little, Marwhirn.} Robert Hastings, Minnyhive.} William Crinzian, Woodhead} |
030 | [Situation] Nearly 2 ¾ miles N .W. [North West] from minnyhive A hill on the farm of Marwhirn . Somewhat lower than the general range of the hills separating the valleys of Dalwhat & Craigdarroch it yet forms a prominent & well defined single feature on the north side of that range and from its herbage being of a lighter tint than any in its immediate vicinity its prominence becomes more striking. From this fact it may perhaps have derived its name . From its summit a fine view is obtained of the opposite (northern) hills stretching as far as the eye can reach [tods [towards]] the eastern extremity of the parish and skirting & defining [with] marked distinctness the limits of the valleys through which the Dalwhat and Cairn waters flow. |

Transcriber's notes
check White Hill - Descriptive Remarks - approx. middle of 5th last line - 'to'? with 'ds'? then added as a superscript? indicating he meant 'towards'? The 'to' could conceivably be 'As' or, less likely, 'So'
