Transcriber's notes
The place name entry for Eilean Mhic Leoid refers to it being south of "Dun a Tisha". As there is no such place name in this Volume, I assume the authority meant "Dun Na Tisa" which is on this same page as an alternate to Dun na Dise[Dun na Dise].Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
