Transcriber's notes
Note that the spelling corrections are initialled by the same C. W. Wilson who signed the page. He also seems responsible for the pencilled inscription 'Allt Seamh-bhlair'. Another spelling correction is initialled by 'JMC'.
I have transcribed the name of the stream to which the 'Allt Preas a' Choin' and 'Allt Seimh Bhlàir' join in the descriptions but can find no listing for it either in the index or in the map referred to. I also cannot find the words in a Gaelic dictionary so it is likely to be a scrambled version.
