My apologies if this is a repeat.
1) Lossiemouth to NJ229711 to move the pin on land
2) Meall Luaidhe to NN570445 Further research
3)Roy Goe to ND275356 got it wrong in the first place
4)Shineyart spelling error should read Shinegart
5)Tonderghie is shown as 'Mary Mine' on 1:25000 map-alternative name?
6)Hilderstone and Balloch both have the correct map ref shown but are not at that map reff.
7)Whiteriggs shows two locations the one in Scotland is OK, there is another in the North Atlantic Ocean with a map ref of SV892889 under the United Kinkdom.
8)Barbreck/Dunardry My mistake Dunardry is in a differen location so I have put it in, so it needs to be removed from the Barbreck reference
9)Garpol spelling correction Garple
10)Eilean Shona to NM668742 further research

That it, I have compleeted the full review of my gazetteer. I expect there are sill errors in it hopefully those out in the field can find them. Hope this is helpful. JeremyL

Done in the main but with a couple of queries.

6. Not sure what you you mean by this one ?
Are they slightly out due to it being a 100m square or completely wrong ?

General query to all.

7. Where is the Whiteriggs listed as SV892889.
Google suggests its an iron mine in the Barrow area, but that grid must be wrong in more than one place.

I'm guessing its a duplicate of this, even though the spelling and grids are a mile off.

Again my appols if this is a repeat, either trouble with the computer or the operator!!
6) Hilderstone. The pin is actually at NS 979714 the mine is about 1.2Km East of the pin. There is a 'Shaft (dist)'at the current pins location, this may be associated but the main site is at the banana shaped water body at at NS991712.

Balloch. Was originally at NX312933, the pins current position, as per 3rd edition of the gazetteer, I have since found that burn names have changed and the pin should be at NX309916 about 2Km south of its current position. Hope this helps not confuses!

I was going to add Gwernor Copper Mine as a separate entry to the slate one, but given it's grid reference, I think the existing (slate) one probably is the Copper Mine as it's much nearer the copper mine than the quarry (although i'd place it slightly east)

would be worth adding following text as well..

'Described in Old Copper Mines of Snowdonia as dating from 1755 with three shafts and some run in adits. Also possible deep adit below road. Now in private landscaped garden.'

The map position puts it much closer to Shona Beag.

Klondyke Smelt Mill shown near Deganwy.
