[Note relating to 'Allt Cùl'] - Allt Cùil or Allt a' Chùil
I think Cùl Cannot be made an adjective?
Why not if locally used as such - See Name Bk. [Book] of Sht. [Sheet] 20 Perthshire (P.47) - compiled by you,
where you declined an Adjective as a noun Substantive,
and incorrectly as a noun, the Genitive Case
instead of the nom [nominative] having been adopted.
Referred to Corp. [Corporal] Daniels [Initialled]
Allt Cùl is the name as known in
the locality & though ingrammatically written
ought to be retained." [Signed] P. Daniels
