Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Buachaille Etive Mòr, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 06:35, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, No problem. I am Scottish, a former mountaineer and above all had relatives in Fort William who spoke Gaelic. When in Glencoe, any of my family always mentioned "The Buchaille". We knew it was the big hill, not the adjacent smaller one. So its a minor mistake to connect the dots and call it the Big Shepherd (we always said "shepherd").
 * The Scottish tourist board is notbtoo reliable with Gaelic (putting 'h' in everywhere! - 'h' usually meant genetive case - "belonging to". But the soft 'c' in Buchaillle is correct. Mind you, Gaelic was not a written language until it was formalised in the 18th century (I think).
