Transcriber's notes

GLENHARROW/GLENHARRAW
- the original transcription table had GLENHARROW, but the List of Names column indicates GLENHARRAW as does the index for this volume. I have therefore changed this to GLENHARRAW. Same on Page 403.

GLENHARRAW BURN/RIG
- some text on the image is obscured at the binding hiding word Gleng[--] - the other entry for GLENHARROW BURN and RIG in the this volume (Page 403) indicates Glenglass.

An entry for "Black Craig" has been struck out with the note:
Not well known, by those in its immediate loc[ality?]
