Transcriber's notes
An Caolas is followed by a notation in brackets it looks to be "(m)" I have not transcribed it as unsure if it is m for masculine or something quite other. The gender of nouns is not often noted in the Name Books.
ALLT COIRE CHORCAIG was the prepopulated entry: the Name Book, the Index and Sheet 31 all have it hypenated: "Coire-chorcaig" and I have changed it accordingly.

Ordnance Survey - Argyll county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. 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.
