Transcriber's notes
LOCHAN - the struck out comment regarding 'cannot take its name from a small Lochan ... Lochan itself means a Small Loch', may be due to the other writer's possible use of Lochan in the Descriptive Remarks. The word ending is not clear (to me), I transcribed as Loch[?an].Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
