OS1/17/2/59 Rather confusing page. Pre-populated with 'Allt A. Choire Buidhe' which does not appear, but is in the Index referenced to this page. 'Milton Burn' and 'General Wade's Military Road' do appear in the page but are not pre-populated, and also appear in the Index. The latter refer to spelling authorities in name book of Abernethy and Kincardine but without page numbers. The page has no parish heading but is in fact in Duthil and Rothiemurchus parish. These two sites extend in to Abernethy and Kincardine parish and the authorities are in Vol 01 p80 ( OS1/17/1/80) for Milton Burn and Vol 01 p5 (OS1/17/1/5) for Wade's Road. There are many 'Allt A' Choire Bhuide' names in Mainland Inverness. It is likely that the name and entry are mistakenly in the Index and refer in fact to the same name in the Inverness Vol 4 page 30 ( OS1/17/4/30). On that page there is a marginal note in pencil 'In Name Book of Duthil & Rothiemurchas'. I leave it to Mods to decide what should be deleted.

OS1/17/2/61 [Page] 61 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine (Part of)
OS1/17/2/61 The second 'Carn' in the 'Carn Meadhoin' description is likely to be a mishearing of 'Carn Sheilg' which is the third Carn on the map. Note that the interpolations in spelling are initialed in pencil. Looks like 'CWW'. Could be 'C. W. Wilson Captain RE'.

OS1/17/2/62 Note that the spelling corrections are initialled by the same C. W. Wilson who signed the page. He also seems responsible for the pencilled inscription 'Allt Seamh-bhlair'. Another spelling correction is initialled by 'JMC'. I have transcribed the name of the stream to which the 'Allt Preas a' Choin' and 'Allt Seimh Bhlàir' join in the descriptions but can find no listing for it either in the index or in the map referred to. I also cannot find the words in a Gaelic dictionary so it is likely to be a scrambled version.

OS1/17/2/65 [Page] 69 County of Elgin Detached No 1 -- Parish of Abernethy & Kincardine (Part of)
OS1/17/2/65 The name of the source 'Ben na Bynack' appears as 'Ben Bynack' on the map sheet 75 although it is not listed in associated names. Similarly the point at which it changes name 'Coire Leacaiche' is presumably a mis-hearing of 'Coire Leacach' which is recorded on page 41 (OS1/17/2/41) and is listed in the Index as such.

OS1/17/2/76 Note that the Authorised Spelling for 'Batuisk' was changed from 'Batguisk'. The latter was used in the script on previous pages. The entry for 'Coire Chomhnaidh' was not pre-populated but is listed in the Index for this page. I have therefore added the transcription. The Situation for the entry was given as the same for the others but an added pencil note suggests '59 & 74'. It is in fact on sheet 74 but curiously is not listed in the list of names on that sheet. There is confusion but I feel it is correct.

OS1/17/2/80 The entry for Blàr Bàn had not been pre-populated. In the Index it is listed to be in page 83 but this is wrong since there is no entry for it in that page. I have therefore transcribed it for this page. Note also that two of the entries clearly are in ruins as stated in the Spelling. However the names appear without the parenthesis in the Index.

OS1/17/2/83 The name 'Blàr Ban' had been pre-populated for this page in accordance with the listing in the Index. The entry for this name is in fact on page 80 ( OS1/17/2/80) where I have transcribed it.

OS1/17/2/87 This is a very confused page. There is no Parish heading. It has 6 entries, two of which have been crossed out. There are no Authorities nor Descriptions only references to other Name Books. All of the uncrossed ones are in the Index but 3 of them are referred to as being in County of Banff. As described Ben Bynac, A' Choinneach, and The Saddle are all just outside the boundary for Invernesshire and the names and details are in the Books for Banff (OS1/4/18/129 and OS1/4/18/205B). Càrn Dubh is on the boundary between Inverness-shire and Banff and is detailed in the latter Name Book (OS1/4/18/141) not as stated on the script in this page. It seems that these objects extend over the County boundaries of Inverness and Banff but are fully recorded only in the Name Books for Banffshire. They are all however also listed in the Index for this page and the map sheets lists referred to so needs a decision on transcription.

OS1/17/2/89 An entry for 'Coire Cas' was pre-populated. It does not appear in this page but in the Index is referenced to p 101 ( OS1/17/2/101) where it does appear. I have therefore deleted it for this page. The note about Gaelic grammar is in pencil and below the corrected spelling for 'An t-Aonach'.

OS1/17/2/90 [Page] 90 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine
OS1/17/2/90 Note that the entry for 'Coire an Laoigh Mhoir' has this approved spelling, but in the Index is listed as 'Coire na Laoigh Mhoir'. The pre-population followed the Index as did the list of names associated with Sheet 74. However the name actually printed on the map follows the original spelling. The spelling in the Index therefore is an error.
OS1/17/2/91 CAIPLICH Caiplich Caiplich Caiplich Revd [Reverend] James Grant, F.C [Free Church] Rithiemurchus, Aviemore Mr John Gordon Game Keeper Glenmore Mr Grant, Game Keeper Rebhoan, Glenmore 075 ; 090 The Southward part of Ben Bynac; A prominent hill on the boundary between Banff and Inverness shire; between the head of Rivers Nethy & Learg Lui.

OS1/17/2/91 [Page] 94 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine Highland work
OS1/17/2/91 Note that two of the entries on this page, Coire Dearg and Coire Dubh, were not pre-populated. There is no indication that they are entered elsewhere and they are listed in the Index as referenced to this page. They are not listed as names on the declared map sheet 75 either but are in fact named on the map. I have therefore transcribed them for this page. What is Learg Lui? That seems to be the transcription but cannot find it in the Index or associated with map sheet 75 as described. In fact it is probably Learg na Laoigh as shown corrected on page 93 ( OS1/17/2/93).
OS1/17/2/92 CAIRN GORM Cairn Gorm Cairn Gorm Cairn Gorm Revd [Reverend] James Grant F.C.

OS1/17/2/92 [Page] 92 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine Highland work Corrected it to agree with the Banff Division work.
OS1/17/2/92 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'.
OS1/17/2/93 SRON A' CHANO Sròn a' Chàno Sròn a' Chàno Sròn a' Chàno Revd [Reverend] James Grant Rothiemurchus, Aviemore Mr John Gordon, Game Keeper, Glenmore Lodge Mr Grant Game Keeper Rebhoan, Glenmore 074 ; 075 A prominent corner of a spur projecting out from Cairngorm and forming a continuation of Cnap Coire na Spreidh between Strath Nethy and Allt Clais a' Mheirlich.

OS1/17/2/94 [Page] 94 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine Highland work
OS1/17/2/94 Note that Mam Suim is on the border of sheets 74/75 in two parts but not on the name list. It is an extension of Stac Na h-Iolaire. The entry for Tamh- Dhruim had not been pre-populated but it is listed in the Index for this page and appears on the map sheet 75 referenced to this page, so I have added the transcription.

OS1/17/2/95 [Page] 95 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincadrdine
OS1/17/2/95 Note that the entry for 'Rieaonachan' gives 'In Ruins' in parenthesis in the Spelling columns. The description is also of a ruin. The Index does not allow the latter and this is carried through to the naming on map sheet 74. Hence the pre-populated dropping of this addition. However there is also a persistent typo in that in the name list associated with Sheet 74 the spelling is given as 'Riegonachan' and this has cycled back to the pre-populated name. Given that this is not as in the map I have corrected it on the form.
OS1/17/2/96 CAOCHAN DUBH A' CHADHA Caochan Dubh a' Chadha Caochan Dubh a' Chadha Caochan Dubh a' Chadha Revd [Reverend] N MacKintyre A MacKintosh Esqr Mr J Galbraith 074 ; 089 A stream having its source at the Eastern base of the Castle Hill and running north Easterly enters Allt Creag Leacainn about 1½ miles above Allt na Cùle It signifies the Black Streamlet of the narrow Pass

OS1/17/2/96 [Page] 96 County of Inverness -- Parish of Abernethy and Kincardine
OS1/17/2/96 The pre-population of 'Tamh-Dhruim' reflects the name listing for sheet 75 which assigns it to Page 96 when in fact it is correctly listed in the Index to this volume as Page 94. I have therefore deleted the entry on this page.

OS1/17/2/98 'Eag' is a notch or gap. Allt Creag na Leacainn is entered but not pre-populated. In the index as Page 98 and is on the map, although not in the list of associated names, so should be transcribed. Similarly Creag na Leacainn is entered and not pre-populated but is listed in the Index as on page 99 which is wrong. Although it appears on map sheet 89 it is not listed in associated names. I have transcribed it for this page. Castle Hill, Creag a'Chalmain, and Creag na Leacainn are all on the line of the boundary between Duthil & Rothiemurchus and Abernethy & Kincardine parishes. Eag Coire a' Choineachaidh and Allt Creag na Leacainn are fully in Abernethy & Kincardine parish.

OS1/17/2/100 The translation referring to'notched cow' is in fact literal. Eagaich means notched, hacked or marked. The name is not listed on the names associated with Sheet 89 but does appear on the map sheet. The reference to the final examiner is below the second 'Allt na Leirg Gruamaich' entry, and refers top the extensive corrections of name and spelling.

OS1/17/2/101 The entry for 'Coire Càs' was not pre-populated. It is in the Index for this page but is not listed in the associated names for Sheet 89. It is however printed on the map so I have transcribed it here. The allocation of 'Sron an Aonaich' to Sheet 74 is wrong since it does not appear on that map. Cannot make sense of the second part of the Gaelic meaning for Sron an Aonaich. Not so in dictionary.

The ministry has a glebe in each. Abernethie was dedicated to St. George. There was a Chapel in Conigess in the east end of the Parish; and another 2 miles above the Church, on the bank of Nethie The Barony of Abernethie was part of the estate of Cumming Lord Badenoch, where he had a house or fort near the Church (see Military History) Let it be observed, that the Davacks of Gartenmore, Rymore and Tulloch in Abernethie, and the Davacks of Tullochgorum, Clourie and Cour in Inverallan, were a part of the Lordship of Badenoch. In the east end of the parish is Conegess; and half a mile above Conegass, is a bridge of 4 arches over the Spey built on the military road in 1754. A mile further up is Achernack for about 300 years the residence of the Head of the Clan Allan. About the year 1560, James Grant of Achernack had a family of eight sons, whereof Duncan was heir: A 2nd Gregor founded the family of Gartinmore; A 3rd James was ancestor of Achterblair, now Carron; a 4th John, was the first of the Grants of Easter Lathendie and Burnside; a 5th Allan, was ancestor of Malarchard[?]; a 6th Mungo of Conegess; a 7th Robert of Novie; and the 8th Andrew.
