[Note to Allt Bhreacnais:]
The pronunciation of the names as given by
the authorities ought to be kept as close to as possible
Bhreacnachadh is quite different to
Bhreacnish in pronunciation &c.
The latter is evidently a provincialism and ought to be preserved
but written according to Gaelic analogy. See Ardvrecknish on Sheet 77
