About this site

This is the transcription of the Report, minus appendices. The texts were scanned from a copy of the Report at Stornoway Library. The scans were then rendered into text using an on-line OCR tool, and manually cleaned up. Not all tables have been transcribed (marked by [table omitted]), where the details do not appear to contribute to the subject matter.
