many thanks - certainly makes complete sense for the second (money) example; not so much before and after the year.  I appreciate your help with this.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1700 Scottish Testament - strange symbols
« on: Saturday 31 October 15 12:54 GMT (UK)  »
I am deciphering a 1702 testament - my first attempt - and these symbols appear frequently, usually associated with Names, dates, or sums of money.  Could anyone more experienced tell my what they are, and what they mean, or indicate ?

Inverness / Killichonate Burying Ground

I have ancestors buried in Killichonate Burial Ground  -  I would like to know if this cemetery is accessible to the public,  and to have any other information on its condition and history.
