Transcriber's notes

GIBBIE'S WELL - one of the authors uses a 'comma' for 'apostrophe' - I have so transcribed.

NEWTOWN - the Situation column here begins 'Of forming the...' I do not know the significance of the 'Of' - it may be an abbreviation?

QUEENSBERRY SQUARE [Sanquhar] - this entry was omitted in the original transcription table, while an entry appears in OS1/10/44/109. I have copied the map reference (006) to the Situation column of this page, and deleted the entry on Page 109.
