Comments

In the fourth paragraph, Lockhart incorporates a marginal note into the text. This is expanded and differs - namely,: "…..through Down, and crossed the water of Teath at the bridge there. The P. stoped at a gentlemans house near Down, of the name of E----n, and drunk a glass of wine on horseback, where the ladys &c. of the country were assembled to see him" The marginal note does not mention Edmonstone's house near Down or the Teath crossing.
In the fifth paragraph Lockhart adds:"… soon after passing Forth" and:"… and his followers, which indeed we were in a most…."
