Winding round the hill from the porter-lodge at the north base to the summit, is a beautiful avenue here and there intersected by well laid-out gravelled foot paths. The porter lodge is a very neat edifice one storey and in first-rate condition. |

Tomnahurich - in the descriptive remarks column the word "Watchmans" has been circled and a note written on page as follows: This signification is given in the New Statistical Account but does not appear to be correct.
Some of the inhabitants in this locality give the meaning as Hill of the Pail or Tub which in Gaelic would be written Tom na h-Uraich but the name is invariably now written as adopted.
