"Burn of Dirrara" estate plan.
This name is rather obscure and therefore
the name as on the estate plan seems preferable

These names are applied to hill features,
not hollows. Would it not be better to
have them similar as to rr or r.
I would suggest the following.
Little Corriarach
Meikle Corriarach
Corbuie
See also Meikle Corbuie & Little Corbuie

Ph [Parish]. I do not quite understand the
application of the word Cor in such
names as to hill and not to hollow
features. see also note on page 30 of
this book.

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
