Aheet 180 North & South Knapdale


[Feur' Lochan ] "Feur" is evidently a contraction of the word
"Feurach", "Grassy". As the Authorities drop the
second Syllable of the word ("ach,") the contraction Feur' thus written will mark
the elision as having taken place.

Transcriber's notes

Note, in the "Feur' Lochan" entry that an elision is the omission of a sound or syllable when speaking.

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.
