[Note Leac Seabhag] -- "It is difficult to pronounce with distinctness
the aspirate form of Seabhag Would it
be better write it plain after the word Leac"

[Notes Creag-na-Morlaig] -- Creag na Morlaig
Creag nam Mòr-Leac? The craig of the large flags?"
"The words "Craig na" being plain
Gaelic well understood, ought not
the hyphens be omitted?
