This notebook contains Charles Lyell’s notes from his travels through Ireland (started in previous notebook, Number 112), and Scotland (continued in following notebook Number 114) including Ballantrae, Girvan and Kinnordy. It is dated August 31 to October 6, 1843. Notes are in pencil and ink and are primarily field notes with many sketches. The notebook index is located in the back of the notebook on pages 113-116. There is also an index for J.D. Forbes’ book “Travels Through the Alps of Savoy” on pages 101 and 105.

The following table of contents is Lyell's own words, copied from Lyell's own "Index", which are found at the beginning and end of the notebook, transcribed from digital surrogates using the platform Transkribus. When known, Lyell's abbreviations and contractions have been expanded using brackets []. When writing is unclear, and transcription is not possible, this is denoted using [...]. Quotation marks are Lyell's own notation for ditto, as is the abbreviation "do" and also a hyphen with square brackets. The inclusion of [sic] indicates the misspelling of a word is deliberate and taken from the notebook.
