Transcriber's notes
There are two Loch names very which are very faint in 'Description remarks' for "Vad" but I have determined that the first one is Loch Mhic Phail and the second is Loch Seaginish although, as also mentioned in the entry for "Siginish" on page 47 of this Volume, I have put "Seaginish [Signinish]" because the only instance of "Sheaginish" is on page 47 and has in fact been crossed out and replaced with "Siginish".
