Mr. Duncan Buchanan Caolasnacon Mr. Thomas McDiarmid Kingshouse Mr. Duncan McColl Barrs Adopted. See Sheet 34 Perthshire |
047 | A flat tract of moorland in the counties of Argyll and Perth. Mr. Buchanan, an authority quoted (and allowed to be the most competent in the locality) is of the opinion that the name was originally confined to Perthshire. But agrees that it should now be extended into Argyllshire as the portion situated in the latter having now become pretty generally known by the common name Rannoch Moor and being evidently the same expanse as in the former county. Its extent is comprised within the following, viz. from the northern arm of Loch Laidon to Lochan Gainmheach and Lochan Mathar Etive thence southward to Dubha Lochan and Loch Ba', then easterly to Leathad Mor (Sheet 47) and county boundary (sheet 48). |
