[Note beside 'Allt na Gaothair'] -
It is either Allt a Ghaothair or Allt nan Gaothar but I have no doubt the latter is the correct form.
If Gaothar is the proper word it must be fem pl. [feminine plural]
A. na' Gaothar
Allt. A mountain stream
Gaothar. A lurcher, A cross bred dog, being half greyhound, And half fox hound; Anciently a greyhound. (Gaelic)
[Note beside 'Ceann-a' Chùirn'] - Ken-a' Chuirn. The abrupt ending of the head of the hill or something like that. [Signed] P. Munro
