Transcriber's notes
Note that the List of Names column reads Dovetshill, with Dovitshill scored out underneath.
In the Other modes... column the third entry has been annotated in another hand with an arrow pointing to it; it reads:
Dovits by Co.Map in N.S. p[la?]n 10 A. pp 12'
Again the binding has obscured some of the Descriptive remarks which can easily be divined.

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.
