Transcriber's notes
Parts of Description are lost in the tight binding of right margin. Although the spelling "Auchinoun" is consistently used by the surveyor, it has been scored out in the "Orthography, as recommended" column and "Auchinoon" inserted in a different hand.

Ordnance Survey - Midlothian county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Midlothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
