Stac Dubh nam Feannag [note]
nam is incorrect before the letter -D'.
An adjective when prefixed to its noun is indeclinable hence Dubha is not correct
the inserting the letter -a here is a mistake
Stac is by some pronounced Staca but is
a vulgar or provincial pronunciation
The most reasonable and that which would make sense is "Stac Dubh nam Feannag"
