Transcriber's notes
Craigdarroch Water - Descriptive Remarks - up until now (I am working backwards) I have put the correct spellings in [] where the C/A have made clear mistakes - so the page will appear when searching, but these have been removed on p. 76 following moderation & locking (by Chr1smac).
Here Craigleeran is a unique ('non-authorised' spelling which appears nowhere else in SP) and it should be spelt Craiglirian (see e.g. page 51), with a variant Craiglearan (or Craiglearand). Likewise - Strenshelloch (Stronshalloch on p.54 is the only other 'official' variant for Stranshalloch, although it has also been written Strenshalloch on p. 55 and 62).
Craigdarroch Water and Craig - Descriptive Remarks - some letters lost in the page fold so I have placed those words in [].
