Transcriber's notes
I presume the phrase "Garnets &c" added at the end of the description for Port an t-Samhlaidh refers to the practice of using this bay not only for shelter when fishing but also for hunting Gannets or collecting their eggs. "Garnet" may well be a misspelling of "Gannet". However, the area was also known to have gemstones, including Garnets.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
