Beinn Starav, notes: "in R. [Roman] Print" "Altered to 'Ben Starav' [from Ben Starive] at the request of Dr [Doctor] Clark 12th Decr. [December] 1874."
"I believe this name as now written on trace (Staribh) to be wrong, the Authorities
pronounce it Starra which would agree with Sturrach & then be applicable to
the feature as rough & rugged. Mr McLean made no remark on this name G. A. [George William Archer, Captain Royal Engineers]"
Transcriber's notes
The note in red "Altered to 'Ben Starav' [from Ben Starive] at the request of Dr Clark 12th Decr. [December 1874.": Sheet 75 has followed this advice, while the index still has "Beinn Starive" and the prepopulated field has Beiinn instead of Ben.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
