This is a most awkward spelling, but cannot be changed. The accent is on the last syllable & the name is pron'd [pronounced] Toldywhill, while the spelling suggests Tolduwhill. It is therefore not- of the black or dark wood but of the two woods.(?) [Initialled] JMcD

[Note beside 'Quillichan Burn'] - Tarsuinn. Across, transversely or obliquely; over, from side to side.
Caochan. A rivulet; an eddy of air; whiskey in its first process of distillation.
