Memo. In revision of 6 inch & 1/2500 Plans:
Some pencil notes in this book are by Mr Carpenter, the OS [Ordnance Survey] Gaelic
Examr. [Examiner]; but the pencil notes in this Book which are initialled JMcD
Mr James McDonald, The Farm, Huntly,
who is the best Authority on the names of
Aberdeenshire. His remarks should be followed
as far as possible, especially when they are in
the direction of restoring the name to the form
originally collected. This district is not now Gaelic
speaking - See page 30 where "Corbuie" has been altered
to the form "Corr Buidhe" - At the same time unnecessary
alterations should be avoided.
The attached slips with remarks
in ink give the opinions of Mr. A. Macdonald of OP's [Ordnance Placenames]
branch as to the Gaelic correct forms of the names,
Mr M. [Macdonald] being the Ord [Ordnance] Survey Gaelic authority. I think
it is unnecessary to adopt these correct Gaelic forms
in Aberdeenshire.
