Transcriber's notes

The prepopulated entries for this page were found on page 122a and have been moved here to match up with the original page.

The prepopulated entries "AN AIRIDH (Ruins)" & "RUINS (An Airidh) [Al1t Coire an Longairt]" both denote the same feature, I have merged them into one entry with the second in the column for variations. I have been unable to find that Name on any versions of Sheets 115 or 114 or Perthshire 101, it seems to have been left off the maps due to being deemed Unimportant. Not found in Index. It may be the series of small rectangles east of the stream just south of where it turns west, close to the number "996", Sheet 115 Argyllshire or 101 Perthshire/Argyllshire.

"Meall nan Caora": it appears thus on Argyllshire Sheet 115 and Perthshire 101, also in the Index until changed to "Caorach" by Reverend McCallum 1896 [and that seems to be the modern spelling] I have changed it back to Caora as it is my understanding that the spelling on the map sheets is the standard.

"Coire an Longairt" appears in Name Book Column 1 & in prepop imported from 122a [where it was orphaned], Index has "Coire an Langairt--115--122a", the Sheets 115 Argyllshire & 101 Perthshire have "Coir' an Longairt". Described as being between Meall Breac [should be Meall nan Caora?] and Meall na Fudhar.
