[Note relating to 'Inschnabobart'] - In the Abergeldie papers the article is not once used.
The name is always spelt Inchbobart. So far as I
see, the art. [article] is modern & makes nonsense of the name.
The Val. [Valuation] Roll '95 [1895] has Inchbobart. [Initialled] JMcD

[Note relating to 'Allt a' Mhaide'] - Name corrected to
"Allt a' Mhaide" [Initialled] C.W.W. Cap.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers]

[Comment associated with Mr. C. Duncan in the "Allt a' Mhaide" entry]
who says it means "Burn of the Stick"

This is quite true
& the meaning of the name. [Initialled] JMcD
