Summary

This is about a collection of Gaelic and Nordic place names from around Loch Hourn. It also gives translations and
explanations, and more than that: for each name you can activate a sound sample of its pronunciation by native
speaker Peter MacRae, who lived almost his whole life in that coastal area. Thus you'll hear the names spoken like
the lively coastal community pronounced them in the 20th century. Please read the URGENT ADVICE below.

URGENT ADVICE

To really experience this collection SOUNDS AND
ALL — simply download it as a PDF file: right-click
on the blue file name at the top. Then choose
"Save Link As" and open the downloaded pdf in
Acrobat Reader*.

* Acrobat Reader is a free downloadable stand-alone pdf-viewer
  (use the button at top right) that perfectly renders embedded
  sound. Built-in pdf-viewers of browsers often cannot do this!

If you just want to view the text of the pdf, you can always use
the built-in viewer of your browser without the luxury of sound.
The sound samples are available as an MP3 audio file:
