Notes
  • [NOTES: it seems that Eilidh Walker’s ‘cattle’ questionnaire was later used to accommodate a list of miscellaneous words provided by Mr Anderson and Mrs MacD. According to the slips and the card index of informants, Mr Anderson is James Anderson of Killin (70s in 1968) and Mrs MacD is Mrs MacDermid of Loch Tay, b. Glenlyon (c. 60 in 1968). In most cases, the list gives only phonetic transcriptions of words but when the questionnaire was slipped, orthography had to be added. Therefore in this file, whenever possible, the orthography has been included as well. Square brackets were added if the spelling used came from a different source than the slips themselves (usually Dwelly). Additional information found on the slips has been also included, as well as any differences between the information provided by the questionnaire and the slips, such as differences in orthography.]
