Loch Caillich [note]
Better written without the final -e although it is in McLeod & Dewar's Dicty. [Dictionary] notwithstanding
I think the final e is not correct. It does not agree with the general usage
in the pronunciation of the word both in the Highlands and in
Ireland

Gleann Caillich Beag [note]
Gleann Caillich Bheag
Gleann-caillich Bheag
