Transcriber's notes
Cairn Table. The Description of this place runs into that for Cairns, which begins with the words "On the summit".
Cairn. There are actually two separate Name entries on this page, sequentially, with this Name. They have identical entries for Spelling and Authorities. As only one Name was pre-populated and information was identical, it has been transcribed only once. There was only one Description for both entries and it continues from that for Cairn Table, as above.
