The first is written on plan from the identified name sheet which is evidently incorrect. The identified one of the same name elsewhere by another Factor for the same proprietor is evidently correct viz Lynmore of Glencarvie and Lynmore of Glenconrie bear the same orthography. for according to the old Estate map they were originally connected or nearly so. viz one proprietor claimed one and a portion of the other.

[East South East] direction. on the Estate map the same name is also given to a range of rocks westward of Howbog and northward of the stream.
