Duncan McIntyre, Shepherd James Buchanan Shepherd Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] McFarlane |
014.06 | A narrow and long topped hill on the west side of which flows the "Burn of Achlais." The height of "Bad Ochainaich" is not considerable, but it is a prominent object, & for arrangement of size of letters &c. may be said to rank with "Leachd na cloiche", though it is somewhat higher. None of the Highlanders in the locality know the meaning of this name, which takes the sound of "Badochenay", & is supposed by the Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] McFarlane to signify The tuft of lamentation, of which there are a number of names through Scotland, probably from the fact of a battle being fought there. A ridge joining or connected with "Bad Ochainaich" extends eastwards from this hill & is called "Druim Meadonach" signifying The mid ridge or intermediate ridge - between "Bad Ochainaich" & Leachd na Cloiche" understood. |

The pencilled note is almost too faint to read, especially the second last line, transcription is in places a best guess.
