    3. Heartfelt thanks for that URL, John and Les. This somehow seems more all-encompassing than some other links I have. Now all we need is some time to pore over them.... :-) And can anyone please tell me the meaning of Bealach Tobhair, which I ran into more than once along the shores of Loch Fyne and Kyles of Bute. I can't make any more sense of it than fountain near an inlet. And Eilean "Math-Ghamhna" offshore at Newton Strathlachlan? (Since I suppose it's not the Gamba/Large Prawn Island I'm tempted to call it.) Thanks!
