Transcriber's notes
The second spelling of Friar-minnan ie. minion is recorded as having come from the "Register of Stock-marks" Does this mean 'markets' -I have not put tick in page completed box due to this query.
Some of the words in the description section have disappeared into the fold of the book but I have assumed what the words are by context.
In the situation column can be read [in red ink] "From N[orthern] point of Parish, S[outh W[est] by S[outh] to Fingland Lane.
The entry for White Hill has several words hidden in the fold of the pages- I have put the suggested words (or a question mark) into square brackets and these will need to be checked.
In the situation column can be read [in red ink] the words "At the Nn. [Northern] extremity of Kirkconnel Parish.
