[Note beside 'Beinn-na-ciche'] - Better adopt the well known method of spelling, viz: Bennachie.
I have adopted this spelling [Beinn-na-ciche] as it is the pure Gaelic rendering of the name: "Bennachie" or "Bein-na-chie" is however the common way of spelling it. [Initialled] EHC. Capt R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers]
