Lists of Gaelic place-names compiled by the Reverend Charles Moncrieff Robertson, usually taken from the Ordnance Survey maps, arranged in columns, with the form of the name either as pronounced by reliable Gaelic speakers or from historical sources., [Before 1928.]
Scope and Contents
“An exceptionally accurate and accomplished Gaelic scholar and phonetician, [Charles Robertson] was also for over thirty years a diligent collector of facts relating to Gaelic philology and topography, and — to a less extent — of folk-lore. Much of his work on Gaelic phonetics and dialects has been published in the ‘Celtic Review’ and elsewhere.” (‘Scotsman’, 6 August 1928.)
The collection is composed chiefly of notebooks, bound or loose-leaf. Some have many blank pages; only the number of those written on is given. Most of the books are undated.
