I'm transcribing a letter from a distant cousin with very bad handwriting - (the letter is from the 1930s). In the letter she is giving some family history details (landholdings in Scotland - Edinburgh area I assume) - but I don't know if she is refering to towns, villages, or family estates. Below is an excerpt of her letter - I know some of the spellings aren't accurate, but maybe someone will recognize the names (or what they should be). The names in question are italicized. Thank you!
