An Caorachan, various modes of spelling: "Caorachan" was crossed out in favour of "Chorachan", which was also crossed out and the former marked "(retained)", the changes being initialled "R.H." [R. Hawkins, Sapper, Royal Engineers]. Below is a pencilled note: "An Corachan? or An Caorachan Na Coireachan would make sense but as the meaning is not understood perhaps it would be better spell it as given first by the authorities"
"Allt a' Chaorachain", a pencilled note: "the plural of Corr or Corra A crane or Heron } Caorachan is a different thing"
Transcriber's notes
Newton Hill, Description: conspicuous or conspicuirs?An Lairig Arnan & Allt an Lairig Arnan- I transcribed these because they appear on the original page 126, however they are not in the Index for Sheet 125. The names given on Sheets 114 & 115 are An Lairig and Allt Na Lairige. In my notes for Page 114 I have noted all the Situation Sheet Numbers for the above, they could be possibly deleted from this page without loss of information.
Lairig Arnan & Allt Arnan - Perthshire Sheet 101, OS Volume Missing - these two features within the boundary of that Parish seem to follow on from those in Argyllshire but could still be quite separate entities. Apologies for lengthy note.
An Caorachan is listed in the Index as "Chorachan" i.e. no prefix
