Transcriber's notes
Bimar. The modern name for this rock was "Beamer". During 2013 the beacon was dismantled and the components stored ashore. Thereafter the rock was blown up and the site incorporated in the foundations of the central tower for the new Forth Replacement Crossing bridge, to be called "Queensferry Crossing".
Welldean Quarry. Although only one spelling is given, two authorities are listed.

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
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 counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
