Transcriber's notes
The Description Remarks for Sgeir an Tairbh cut off (become too faint) at the point where it says "this name signifies ..." There is diluted, indistinct text just below it. Googling the Gaelic name suggests a translation of a "rock where bull seals lie".Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
