[Note]
Please state the reason why the
diminutive is adopted here instead
of the Primary form as given by all
the authorities. A question may perhaps
somtime arise and it would be well to know
the reason why.

Merely from the Consideration of
the object being small and also the
Signification of the name given by
the Examiner in his "Description".
"Lochan" would still be called "a loch"
in English, diminutive being understood.

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.
