Transcriber's notes

LOW KIRKCONNELBUSH - considerable Descriptive text is lost in the image at the binding. In the Descriptive notes there is a mention of '24 lbs per stone' - I think this may be a definition of the 'stone'. The text lost in the binding might clarify this. The CA designation of Thomas Matheson (signee) may also be lost in the binding.
