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. J. Farquharson Col [Colonel] 25/9/95 [25 September 1895]
