Transcriber's notes
A rather messy page!
Nether Black Law and Cairn seem to share the entry, also- in the situation column it states: "On Nether Black Law _ Summit". _
Auchtitench Lane: Ext. at beginning of the line in "Spelling" column-I do not know what the abbreviation means.
In the situation column we read "On the Wn. [Western] or N. [North] Wn. [Western] Parish Boundary.
Friar-minnan Hill did not have an entry space however I have submitted one.
Glenmuir Water appears to be tagged onto Auchtitench Lane entry.
