Diack Year1930 x 1957 NotesAlexander explains in this notebook that the material has been copied from Diack's notebooks of his fieldwork in the Eastern Highlands, 1920-1930, covering chiefly the districts of Aberfoyle, Strathardle, Braemar, Strathspey and Inverness. Alexander comments that 'over the area named, Diack conversed with the last generation of Gaelic speakers possessing a sure grip of the place-names in their true form'. He goes on to explain that what follows is ordered by district and map number, and includes phonetic transcriptions of 'spoken names as used by Gaelic speakers, nearly all of them elderly people'. We are grateful to Prof. Dauvit Broun for his record of some names from this manuscript.
