Aberdeenshire -- Ph [Parish] of Glenmuick Tullich and Glengairn

[Note relating to 'The Coyle'] - This name is quite correct
it having been obtained from
3 of the best authorities in
the Balmoral district. [Initialled]
I find the general impression is that "Coil" should be
the mode of spelling adopted - being a corruption
of "Coille" a Wood - from which it is supposed the name is derived -
evidences of its being all wooded at one time are numerous.
