[Note relating to 'Glas Maol'] - For this correction
see Name Book of Forfarshire
This is undoubtedly the Gaelic form of the name, prond. [pronounced] Glas Vyeoul, which Maol
never could be. I fear Glas Maol has been too long established to change
though it must be taken as an English spelling or mis-spelling. The stress is on Glas which shows the form adopted is quite wrong [Initialled] JMcD
[Note relating to 'Coire na Feinne'] - ? Were the Feinn ever in Braemar? I see nothing wrong in Fionn a choire - (Fair corrie)
the a is a euphonic half vowel following nn. I do not recommend a change
because I would not like to say the Feinn never were in Aberdeenshire, but this name & following appears to me very doubtful. [Initialled] JMcD
