The reference in 'description remarks' for "Burial Ground' to "Ard a' Bothain" is probably a mistake made in haste and should be Ard a' Bhorain; the only Ard a' Bhothain found through Google is located in Ireland. The preceding entry on this page refers to Ard a' Bhorain, increasing confidence that this is indeed close to 'this' Burial Ground. |

'Description remarks' for "Knoch Hungavat" end after the word "Signification". As "Hungavat" itself does not translate (there is no attempt made to translate it in the separate entry for "Loch Hungavat"), I have completed the last sentence here simply by suggesting that the signification would be "Hungavat Knoll".
Similarly, there is an indistinct word in the 'Description remarks' for "Loch Tergavat", which reads "Signification "The [illegible] spot loch". The illegible word is at most three letters long and the only possible word from the shapes of the letters written would appear to be "eel". |

There is a handwritten entry for "Eilean a' Bhorain" said to be on page 5, but there is no entry anywhere in the whole volume for "Eilean a' Bhorain" (though there is one for "Ard a' Bhorain" on page 5 which is also/already correctly placed in the Index)
Handwritten "Creag Crugaig -- 166" in fact reads "cancelled" on that page, so I have deleted that entry from the Index
Handwritten "Eilean an Dhomhnuill -- 129" should in fact be "Eileanan an Dhomhnuill -- 129"
Handwritten "Geiris-geo -- 9a" simply does not exist anywhere in the whole volume (and neither does page 9a itself), so it has been deleted from this Index |
