    • ERRATA.

    Page 1, line 2 from foot, for "88" read "90."

    Page 61, line 16, for "Bleau" read "Blaeu."

    Page 127, line 7, for "xviii." read "xx."

    Page 151, line 26, for "1858" read "1856."

    Page 185, line 15 from foot, insert "as bad" before "as he had."

    Page 190, line 12 from foot, for "Crultear" read "Cruitear."

    Page 214, line 18, insert "Mc" before "Taggart."

    Page 219, line 21 from foot, for "Reid" read "Reidh."

    Page 220, line 3, for "meal" read "meall."

    Page 221, line 15 from foot, for "South Erradale" read "Opinan."

    Page 229, line 26, for "meal" read "meall."

    Page 237, line 9, for "xviii." read "xx."

    Page 293, last line, parenthesis should end after "ecclesiastical."

    Page 295, line 6, for "86" read "89."

    Page 295, line 9, for "65" read "55."

    Page 295, line 10, for "50" read "30."

    Page 302, line 15, for "Mhannaich" read "Mhanaich."

    "Eilean Suthain" should be "Eilean Suainne" throughout the book. "Suainne" is the Gaelic form of "Sweyne," probably a Norse viking, who occupied the island long ago.

    Gaelic scholars will detect other errors and some inconsistencies in the spelling of Gaelic names. Several of these are due to the names being spelt as they would be if written in Gaelic with the article before them.

    ADDENDA.

    Page 132, line 17 from foot, after "site" insert "There are, however, two modern turf-built dwellings still to be seen at South Erradale."

    Page 250, line 5, after remarks on the "Knot" insert "Sanderling (Calidris arenaria)—Not common. Mr Henry A. Clowes sent me one he shot at Sand, Gairloch, 11th September 1886."

    Page 258, after line 2, insert "Crambe maritima—Sea-kale."

    Page 262, after line 44, insert "Beta maritima—Beet."

    ERRATUM

    Page 58, line 19. It is erroneously stated that the present representative in this country of the Mackenzies of Letterewe is Mr John Munro Mackenzie. But the gentleman who in fact represents the family in Great Britain is Mr John Mackenzie of Auchenstewart, Wishaw, who is an older brother of Mr J.M. Mackenzie.

    ERRATUM

    Page 296, line 14. After "physician" insert "Dr Robertson is likewise a registered medical practitioner."

    TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

    Corrections have been made throughout according to the lists of "Errata" and "Addenda" on pp. 437-439.

    Several corrections have also been made in the Index, where typos have been obvious when compared with spellings in the main text.

    Obvious typos and errors in punctuation (this occurs mainly in the glossary) have been silently corrected. The variation in use of full stop and capitalisation has been left unchanged.

    The following corrections have been made to Gaelic words where there is an obvious typo:

    1. Corrected Achadbgarbh to Achadhgarbh in glossary.

    2. Corrected Coinneathadh to Coinneachadh in glossary.

    3. Corrected Donnahadh na Fadach to Donnachadh na Fadach in glossary.

    4. Corrected Garrbh to Garbh in glossary.

    5. Corrected Promadh to Pronadh in glossary.

    6. Corrected Db'fhan to Dh'fhan in Part IV Chapter IV.

    "AnglicÈ" is sometimes italicised, sometimes not. Sometimes it is written with a grave accent, sometimes with an acute. Similarly, "GallicÉ" is sometimes written without an accent. These variants have been left unchanged.

    Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained, except where there is an obvious error.

    Variants in place names and "Mac" surnames have been retained (except where there is an obvious typo). For example: "Achnashelloch" and "Achnashellach"; Macleod, MacLeod and M'Leod.

    There is often confusion between oe ligatures and ae ligatures; the correct form has been adopted where an obvious eror has occurred.

    The "separate words" in the glossary entry for "Gille Cailean Mor" are Gille and Mor

    The "separate words" in the glossary entry for "Iain Dubh Mac Ruaridh" are "Dubh" and "Mac"

    The "separate words" for "Sabhal Geal" are "Sabhal" (for which there is no entry in the Glossary) and "Geal"

    The Mackenzie lairds of Gairloch are listed in Table V on page 391. Links have been provided for each Laird in the Table to his listing in the Index.

    The two different portraits of Sir George Hay of Megginish are here and here.

    The illustrations of stone troughs are here and here.

    The illustrations of fir trees are here and here.
