Some illustrations have been moved to the nearest paragraph break therefore they are not exactly linking with the Lists of Illustrations page numbers. The page numbers in the Lists of Illustrations refer to the original positions. In the Latin plant list starting page 24, the ” in the original book have been replaced with the actual words. On page 159 the name Gilbertston Park has been left as spelt. It appears that today the spelling is Gilbertson but as this book was written around 100 years ago, Gilbertston could have been the spelling at that time. Inconsistencies in hyphenation have been retained. Minor changes have been made to punctuation; other changes that have been made are listed below. Page 15: changed ‘seaboard’ to ‘sea-board’. Page 42: changed ‘does’ to ‘do’- do follow with. Page 42: changed ‘crofter fishermen’ to ‘crofter-fishermen’. Page 100: changed ‘acssss’ to ‘assess’- to assess the village of Stromness. Page 107: added the word ‘the’- opposite direction for the other six hours. Page 116: changed ‘coast-line’ to ‘coastline’. Page 119: changed ‘coast-line’ to ‘coastline’. Page 138: changed ‘may’ to ‘way’- wending their way homeward. Page 161: changed ‘northwest’ to ‘north-west’.
