Sh. [Sheet] 59. Cà Mòr 1st. Col O. N. Bk. [First Column Ordnance Name Book]
Cadha Mòr (big pass.) is the correct
Gaelic form. If the anglicised form
is to be used Ca More would be better.

Sh. [Sheet] 59. -- Beinn a' Chruinnich 1st. Col O. N. Bk. [First Column Ordnance Name Book]
"Beinn a' Chruinneach'" (in pencil)
Beinn a' Chruinneachaidh. (Hill of the gathering) I would
Suggest the full name. I am doubtful
of any of these being the original name.
The hill is described in N. [Name] Book as Circular
in shape. This suggests Beinn Chruinn (Round hill)
corrupted to Beinn Chruinnich
How is it spelt on maps &c?
