Transcriber's notes
The entry for 'Garbh-allt' was not pre-populated. It is listed in the Index for this page and is shown on the map sheet 90 referred to. I have therefore transcribed it for this page.The statement about agreeing with Banff refers to the correction to the spelling of 'Cairn Gorm'.
