Camus-nan-Cnàmh [notes]
Correct J.M.D
would it not be better write it with hyphens as it is a House name?

Allt Camus-nan-Cnàmh [note]
Correct J.M.D

When two nouns are thus joined by a hyphen, the antecedent noun generally governs the other in the genitive. This antecedent noun is declined according to its declension &c, not so when an adjective is the antecedent its only change is aspiration. See Forbes Gaelic Grammar page 62
