Co [County] of Caithness -- Parish of Dunnet
[Faint note Courtfa' Loch] -- This name is pronounced Courtfa
but is written by the Tenants Courtfall in adressing
letters etc to each other but they seem very doubtful about the meaning of
termination etc. some think it is fa' the Scotch word for fall, others that
it is a Norse word, the meaning of which not known. The latter I
think is correct. The name Burifa which
applies to a hill near Dunnet Head
I think altogether foreign to the Scotch, and is very likely Norse The
[?] in these two names, doubtless, come from the Same source, and have one
[meaning?], Should they not all be written the Same way thus Burifa, & Courtfa, Coutfa
[is?] taken no notice of in the Rent Roll, and altho [although] it is by a few spelt Courtfall
[it] is by all, pronounced - Courtfa.
