Accuracy of grid refs

[edit]

Good to see a few errors being cleared up. Geopersona (talk) 10:23, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Arran ones were out for some reason. I have looked at the island ones but I fear you may need a Highlands sub-project to check them all. Ben MacDui 13:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
With the prefixing letters it can be easy to think yourself into the wrong 100km square - clearly that's happened on occasion - that's what comes of transcribing 100's of 6-fig grid refs from the paper maps at one go, I guess! BTW - curious that palindrome thing with Glenelg - I'm not aware of any longer place-names that do that - discounting the lines concerning about the Panama Canal.

Ben MacDui - thanks for error correction but I'm not with you on the burn one for Easan Labhar on Mull - or am I missing something? cheers Geopersona (talk) 18:56, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Quite right, and I have fixed this. The name turns out be interesting.... Ben MacDui 08:28, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

Why is it that there are waterfall "articles" here where the article consists of only one line and a {{coord}}? I'd suggest moving the coords to this list article and get rid of the single-line "articles". - Denimadept (talk) 18:40, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It may be that some can be worked up into articles though I imagine most would never make it - plenty which occur in the list are always going to be insufficiently notable to have their own articles. cheers Geopersona (talk) 08:16, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting of the Three Waters

[edit]

User PaWili has deleted this entry asserting it is not a waterfall. The name is clearly descriptive of a point in Glencoe at which three watercourses meet and is thus named on OS maps. There is a frequently photographed waterfall at that location which is commonly referred to by the same name- just do an image search on the name to find multiple references to it So you might say that the name does refer - in a transferred sense, which commonly occurs with toponyms - to a waterfall.
