Transcriber's notes
This transcription table originally had an entry for CORSE BURN, but is not on the image. CORSE BURN appears on the image for both OS1/10/44/66 and OS1/10/44/133 (at least), I have deleted this page's entry.
CRICHTON'S SCHOOL
-I added a row to the transcription table for CRICHTON'S [sic] SCHOOL, using map reference 006 from page OS1/10/44/206 where an entry for CHRICHTON'S [sic] SCHOOL appears but is not on the image there. Note that the index entry on OS1/10/44/441 specifies CHRICHTON'S while this page Name entry is CRICHTON'S.
- The Descriptive Remarks mentions Friarcarse - I believe this should be Friar's Carse.
