[Note relating to 'Coire na Saobhaidhe'] - Name as written
on Plan correctly. [Initialled]
Given to me several times SÔvie
"Saobhaidhe is no doubt right,
local pronounciation. [Initialled]
[Note relating to 'Cac Càrn Beag'] - Gaelic form correct. [Initialled]
This name shd. [should] be changed to Cà Carn Beag or Little Cairn Ca' Cairn. The c in Cac is borrowed
from Carn. Cac has only one meaning in Gaelic so far as I know, though it is said to mean
"a resting place". Well, perhaps for a special purpose which need not be specified! probably
the name means Cadha C.B. [Càrn Beag] the pass of the Little Cairn. So I understand it. [Initialled] JMcD.
