_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.

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.

ERRATUM

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Words in italics are marked _like this_; words in bold type are marked =like this=.

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 error has occurred.
