Transcriber's notes
In the 'Description' for Loch Airidh Mairi Ruadh, a fold in the page cuts off whether the loch is to the left or right of the road to Lochmaddy. Since the word "right' is a bit longer (given the space remaining on that line) and as the immiediately following loch is also to the left, I guess Loch Airidh Mairi Ruadh must also be to the left of that road (no map I can find has Loch Airidh Mairi Ruadh on it). That same fold also cuts off the word after "red" in the meaning of the loch's name. The word cut off is "Mairi" which most commonly translates as "Mary", so I have put that.In the 'Description' for Loch an Fhaing Bhuidhe, a fold in the page cuts off just how far it is from the road to Lochmaddy. However, as the first word on the next line is "chain" not "chains", I guess the missing word is "a" chain (or possibly "1").
