[Object name of Bockello Hill has been crossed out with note]
Balkello Hill is correct see name book of Tealing Parish.
Also the original examiner in this Parish got the same Name
but spelt it differently, and the final examiner in this case as
well as in many others altered the name wrongly without giving
authorities for the alteration; therefore the original is adopted
