Transcriber's notes
A small part of the right hand side of this page is missing, completion of some words estimated.
For Wee Burn, in the 'General Observations' it is recorded as rising on Pulgowan Hill and [], but the 'Hill and' is crossed out.
For Langside End, the Alternative Name was also marked as Landside End, the 'd' in Land having been added over an original 'g', but was all crossed out, and a clear 'Langside' left. Also, in 'General Observations' originally read 'A name given to a considerable track of Pulgowan Hill', but was largely crossed out and the final text added
