TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:

VARIANT SPELLINGS
Page vi: John Mackay is of Rockfield (p. vi); and Rockfields (p. 16 and
index, under Mackay). Amended Rockfield to Rockfields.

Page vi.: Variant spelling of Scourie and Scowrie retained, however, as
the author could well have spelled it Scowrie (though online historical
sources suggest Hugh Mackay was born at Scourie).

Page 133: Hyslop has been in all other instances spelt Hislop; corrected.

Page 159: "bloodly Clavers" matches book: retained.

Variant spelling of doggerel/doggrel (one instance of each) retained.

VARIANT CAPITALISATIONS
Inconsistent capitalisation of Council-Board and Council-board (one
instance of each) retained.

Capitalisation of Churchman (p. 9) and Legislature (p. 9) retained

The Killing Time variously capitalised as killing-time, Killing-time,
Killing-Time and Killing Time (one of each). Two of these are enclosed
in quote marks and one is in the index. Retained.

Popery and popery/popish and Popish variant capitalisations retained
(read properly in context).

VARIANT SPELLINGS IN QUOTED LETTERS
While the author notes that Claverhouse could not spell correctly (for
example p. 6), the only misspellings that appear in the reproduced
letters are proper names: there are no other spelling errors. It would
appear that the transcriber was correcting the common English without
correcting the proper names. Subsequently the following misspelled
proper names have been corrected:

Page 108: Mauchlin corrected to Mauchline.

Page 138: Sanquar corr
