[Page] 126
Sheet LXXXIX [89] Argyllshire

Coire Dhoireann, a note: "I would prefer this spelling Dhoirioun ["ou" undelined] the other is so much like Doirean the plur. [plural?] of Doire, a grove

Allt Dhoireann, alternative description in pencil: "flowing f[rom the] Loch of same name"

Transcriber's notes

Allt Dhoireann [last entry on page]: it seems that 3 different people made this description [very messy], for the purpose of clarity [and after checking Sheet 89] I have ignored the crossings out in pencil and place the pencil version of description in Extra Info. There is an Allt Raineach, some unnamed streams and also the one running from Loch Dhoireann which merge to form the "allt" in question - maybe best to leave out mention of the source altogether??
