Creag Peathraich 1869 OS 6” [with Coire na Peathraich]

OS namebooks OS1/17/44/97: “ALLT COIRE PHITRIDH [1895] Altered by authority of Mr MacBain, Raining’ s School, Inverness. See Remark in Index. 4.2.95”

Index says: “Allt Coire Phitridh — 97 — 143

(Altered by authority of Mr McBain, Raining’ s School, Inverness. To be used for 1″ purposes only, further investigation to be made during revision of larger scale. By order of the D.G. [Director General] 4.2.95)”

Coire Phitridh, at the south corner of Lochan na h-Earba, is given in the map as Corie na Peathraich. The word is probably an abstract or collective noun from pit, hollow.: MacBain 254
