Yesterday's from Geograph was erronously listed as the island of Barra. It is actually Vatersay/Bhatarsaigh

Note that the Ordnance Survey, whose mapping is used, uses the Scottish Gaelic names for locations in preference to English

"Port Deas an Uidhe"

Made it around 40 pages through my book about so far, a page or so at a time on my commute, and slowly started translating the first two pages today. Still plenty that's above my head but really pleased at how much I can just about work out from context.

Translating it will probably take all year even if I do keep it up. But if I do, I'll clone the Notes file, and erase all the Gaelic so I can try and translate it back the way!
