Transcriber's notes

As the only other Post Office included in this volume is at Lochmaddy and is clearly separated, the fact that this place name comes almost immediately after another (on the previous page) which refers to proximity to "the Tigheary Post Office", this Post Office here can reasonably be inferred to be (and thus recorded as) the Tigheary one
