Bidean nam Bian, notes: R.P [Roman Print]" "nom. [nominative] plural gen. sing. [genitive singular]"
Transcriber's notes
Coire nam Beith, a space was left in the description for the name of the feature which it was "a short distance north of" I take that to be "Bidean nam Bian"
BIDEAN NAM BAN was the prepopulated entry: The original Page 46, the Index & Sheet 45 all have it as "Bian"; I have changed it accordingly.

This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Argyll, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
