[Note relating to 'Creag na Slowrie'] - Would it not be better to Craig for Creag to show it is in the popular spelling.
probably it is Creag na Slabhraibh "C of the chain". In Ireland this word is
not uncommon in place names. It is there a mas. [masculine] noun, with no fem. [feminine].
The English spelling is much to be preferred. [Initialled] JMcD
