[Pencil note pertaining to the name "ALLT AN LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
Allt Lochan Iain
As J is not a Gaelic letter
would it not be better use the
letter I instead _ See List of names
in Armstrong's Dictionary
The word is always pronounced
Iain not Jain

[Pencil note pointing to the name "ALLT AN LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
here is a noun in the gen. [genitive] sing. [singular]
which is contrary to the usage better followed on the Survey
It would be better to write the name as given by the authorities
that is Allt Lochan Iain

[Pencil note pointing to the letter "I" in th name "LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
I not J In Macleod & Dewar's Dictionary the name is spelled Jain but this incorrect
The J is evidently a misprint in
McLeod & Dewar's dictionary.

Ordnance Survey - Inverness 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 Inverness, which is in the north of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
