Cairn of Cur Buyach: early form given by A. Watson 1984, 36
The OS Namebooks OS1/1/20/95 has several authorities giving Bhoidheach, with a later suggested change to Bhoidhich by ‘MD’ elsewhere in the name books there are suggestions by ‘MD’ to a more formal Gaelic grammatical form. It would appear, given the early form above, however, that the form used was Càrn a’ Choire Bhoidheach, despite the fact Bhoidhich would be expected.
