Lochan Hacoin [Note]
In reply to remarks the Revd. [Reverend] J.M. Joass states "The name
Haco or Hacon being that of a Norse King who long held the Western Isles and
part of the mainland, it will not do to prefix T which would mislead. Perhaps
the demand of Gaelic Orthography might be met by introducing i in the genitive as
Lochan Hacoin".
