[Notes]
BEINN IUTHARN MHÒR
Ben Narn Mor JMcD.
I suggest the popular spelling shd. [should] be underlined. The Gaelic form here given seems to me wildly conjectural & most inappropriate to such a fine green hill. There is no real evidence that Hell's Hill is the meaning or indeed that it has any sense so far as I can see. In the same way the Glen at the head of Loch Goil is called Hell's Glen Gleann Ifrinn but Prof. [Professor] MacKinnon says Gleann Aifrinn, Glen of the Mass - common in Ireland. I agree with the note on the right hand corner. Iutharn is nom. & mas [nominative & masculine] See H.S. Dict. [Dictionary]
The best way out of the difficulty is to give the alternatives J McD
You altered the adjective from right to wrong on Plans which carried the name to be questioned
Not "Big Wild Hill" as was given by the Field Examiner in Blair Athole Perthshire
This confirms my Remarks in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] - It is plain that it is well understood in the Country - In matters of Science
(as in the science of Philology) our chief aim and object should be the documents.
["Big Hill of Hell"]
This confirms my Remarks in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] - It is plain that it is well understood in the Country - In matters of Science
(as in the science of Philology) our chief aim and object should be the documents.
As now written it will read either Little Hi;; Hell or Little Hill of Hells (plu) [plural] not Little Hill of Hell.
BEINN IUTHARN BHEAG
I have referred this to Gaelic Scholars in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] and, they agree with my former remarks.
[very faint writing under this sentence, ending with a ?]
Do they agree to the names being written Beinn Iuth-airn Bhig Beinn Iutharn Mhor as suggested by you GR
