[Note relating to 'Càrn Damhaireach'] - I do not know Damhaireach in the sense here used. It may be all right but the Gaelic Gamekeepers understand it to mean "brindled stag" & at least some of them pronounced Dammariach as all non-Gaelic people will, the name as here given. Unless there is good authority for Damhaireach meaning "Rutting", I would incline to say Cairn Damhareach as an English form (or Damhaireach it does not matter which if Cairn is used)
As pron? [pronounced] to me the accent is on the last syllable making 'reach' the qualifying term. [Initialled] JMcD
