North Uist -- County of Inverness
Transcriber's notes
The reference in 'description remarks' for "Burial Ground' to "Ard a' Bothain" is probably a mistake made in haste and should be Ard a' Bhorain; the only Ard a' Bhothain found through Google is located in Ireland. The preceding entry on this page refers to Ard a' Bhorain, increasing confidence that this is indeed close to 'this' Burial Ground.
