County of Caithness -- Parish of Hallkirk
[Note Loch Bad a Channain] -- The word Channain is said
to be the name of an old
corn measure. I therefore
think it comes from the word
Cann, Signifying Vessel.
[Note Crom Allt Beag] -- Small Crooked Stream
[Note Cnoc an Eich] -- this name not on Plan 26A nor 26
on sheets 26 & 31A
