[Note relating to 'Dubh Lochain' and 'Allt an Dubh-lochain'] - To be altered to Dubh Lochain
Altered [Initialled]
This is the Genitive Singular according
to some Authorities.
Where applied on Plan to the three small ones
and Dubh Lochan where applied to the one small loch.
? Some make the nomination plural
of Lochan Lochain
Dubh Lochán is not Black
Little Loch but "Black Lochs"
These Names
are quite Correct
This may be quite true, but Dubh Lochain will generally be reckoned
a mistake. I wd [would] say Dubh Lochan, & let it read Black little loch
or Black Lochs. You can't explain on Map that the name applies
to 3 little lochs. The Corrie & Allt shd [should] remain as they are. [Initialled] JMcD
