Iain:
As others have responded both to your specific quests and with other items
for which you didn't seek info (but which might help you build up a kind of
union list 'a la Elizabeth Rodger') I am bold enough to follow suit. I have
not checked against what the BLML may hold.

; shewing also the different allotments of land proposed to be built on, as
