Mr D Cameron

Sir
In reply to Yours of 16th inst
the Hill refered to is named
Creagan na Radhairc. The
Corruption "AiricK" is thoroughly
misleading "Creagan" signifies a little
rocK "an Radhairc" signifies of
the view or prospect, the two
Combined may be freely translated
Prospect Hill or Knowe = "Creagan"
not "Craggan" is the proper way
of spelling the word
Yours faithfully
[Signed] William G Auld
