However, the county town is usually listed as Jedburgh, e.g. in Encyclopedia IIop cit and"Carnegie Libraries"Archived 18 October 2018 at theWayback Machine scotcities.com Retrieved 26 December 2007.

  23. ^Keay (1994) provides the figure of 121,240 acres (490.6 km2). This is probably a typographical error for 171,240 acres (693.0 km2). For example, the 1976World Book has a figure of 695 km2 for the county. The 1951 Census figure is used in this column.

  27. ^Neither Keay (1994) orVision of Britain offer a specific statistic. However the latter records a total area of 1,263,300 acres (5,112 km2) for 'Aberdeen'. This is clearly inclusive of Aberdeenshire, which elsewhere in the same database recorded as having an area of 1,246,585 acres (5,044.75 km2). The figure recorded here is the difference between the two. In general terms this is consistent with theVision of Britain maps for the area.
