Transcriber's notes
There seems to be an error between the Field surveyors notes (see page 57) and the version written here. The field surveyor shows the Owner as Mr. Bayne and the occupier Mr. "Lith". On this page the owner is Mr. Lith and occupier Mr Leith. I have never come across the name "Lith", and Leith, while not common is far more likely. I think the field surveyor heard Leith and wrote Lith, and the error communicated itself to the final sheets via the O.S. transcibers. Mr "Lith" also appears on pages 5 and 10 as an authority.

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.
