+Corbuie is evidently the Gaelic Coire Buidhe The yellow Dell or hollow Would it not be better cancel the two names viz. Meikle Corbuie and Little Corbuie as they are misnomers, and, if any name be written, to write "Coire Buidhe" at the place?
Còrr a snout or Bill Cannot apply to streams as in a preceding page (25)
