Parish of Laggan Inverness Shire

[Pencil note pointing to the crossed out word "h-Uaine" in the name "ALLT NA GUALAINN UAINE" in the List of Names column]
Adjectives of one syllable
only are prefixed to their nouns and
when prefixed the noun is aspirated but
It is more correct to write Allt na Gualainn Uaine
than Allt na h-Uaine Ghualainn

[Pencil notes pertaining to the name "ALLT NA GUALAINN UAINE" in the List of Names column]
Allt na Gualainn Uaine
Uaine being an adjective of two syllables does not
sound well before Gualainn and
but if the adjective is prefixed the noun must
be aspirated.

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.
