[edit] Co-ordinates

GameKeeper, I have just added the box on the article page, and the co-ords in Nicholson (1995) are slightly different from the ones you added at the top. Yours may well be more accurate. If you believe them to be so could you amend the box accordingly or vice versa? (Nicholson only quotes degree and minutes, no seconds). Thanks, Ben MacDui 16:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I have removed my coords and switched your coord template to add the title coords GameKeeper 16:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

In addtion to the photo it would be great if someone knows the source of the painting used as this bookcover.

If its over 100 years old then Template:PD-art may apply. Edit by GameKeeper

I am investigating, but no luck so far. Ben MacDui 12:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Mystery solved - according to the NLB the painting is by Sam Bough. I am afraid the title on the image frame is just a guess. However if anyone knows how to get hold of a copy of the original booklet - 'The New Lighthouse on the Dhu Heartach Rock, Argyllshire. Edited with an Introduction by Roger G. Swearingen (1995)' by RLS, which is probably out of print, I'd be pleased to hear from them. I have contacted all four organisations on the cover. None are available in Scotland; no reply from the USA as yet. Ben MacDui (Talk) 21:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Irish Name Dubthaigh

This information is derived from MacFie, Macduffie and Dubthaigh, all of which emanate from the same User source and which link to the web page specified by the Clan Macduffie Society reference. I have not actually read the original documents although my limited grasp of gaelic suggests that the derivations of the names are at least plausible. See also Talk:MacFie.
