004 | A little stream flowing from "Beinn a' Bhan" to the Forth or "Loch Dubh" or "Loch Laoud". It signifies the stream of the black Corrie, but in reality the Name is not adopted or given from any proper corrie on its course, being merely the dark heather side of the hill, which upon the authorities quoted is probably the origin of the Name. |

Mr. A Blair Rowardennan A. Blair Ardess J Buchanan Comer J McFarlan Comer J. McLaren Strone McNair A. McLaren Strone McNair D. Mitchell Esqr. Blairvockie |
004 | A loch on the Forth named Dubh Loch from "Geann Dubh" and "Ben Dhubh" and known as such to the three last named authorities, who do not know "Loch Laoud" or indeed ever heard of the Name although always in the locality. The four first authorities quoted know both Names but give "Loch Laoud" as the proper one, and the old established Name. These authorities are the elder of the persons compared. "Loch Dubh" is the most popular Name and numerous authorities might be quoted as recognising it, but these persons do not profess to know the locality farther than an odd Name here and there. |

Ordnance Survey - Stirling 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 Stirling, which is in central Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
