Transcriber's notes

SHIELING KNOWE
- a link is made between the Name, the Various Modes and the explanation for Shieling versus Shielan.
- Private Munro appears to write UZIESIDE instead of ULZIESIDE in Descriptive Remarks, he also does this elsewhere.

The following entries have been struck out with the comments:

Shieling Moss:
This Name from the close proximity of the object to Shieling Knowe has been thought superfluous.-

Small Burn:
A Name not generally recognised.-
