island with ruins
of a castle upon it
situated upon a loch

21 Inverness-shire.
It has been written
on the plan "Isle
of Moy," and the
castle in German

over the sheet
[?]

Copl [Corporal] Cairncross,
The authorities in the
Name book including
the writer of this
request are stated
to spell the name,
"Isle of Moy Castle"
the request is now
to spell it "Ysle
of Moy," to agree with
old deeds. -The name
is written in German
text on the plan,
in which way should
it be spelt?
