Historical Articles from Larry Ruickbie
Innerleithen


I have truncated almost all entries by not typing "This Day" at the start or “was interred" at the end each line.

Anything in quotation marks or with a "?" was my best guess.

I do know that some is miss-spelled, but I strived to make it represent that written in the documents…………..
