GameKeeper, I have just added the box on the article page, and the co-ords in Nicholson (1995) are slightly different from the ones you added at the top. Yours may well be more accurate. If you believe them to be so could you amend the box accordingly or vice versa? (Nicholson only quotes degree and minutes, no seconds). Thanks, Ben MacDui 16:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
In addtion to the photo it would be great if someone knows the source of the painting used as this bookcover.
If its over 100 years old then Template:PD-art may apply. Edit by GameKeeper

I've redone it and added the references. Personally I'd be inclined to remove most of the specualtion... it sounds like it's purely speculation anyway (there are references but they're about the etymologies of the surnames, not the place name). For one thing, if the rock was named after someone, that would involve genitive case marking in Gaelic and you'd get (for example) *Creag Dhubhartaich in Gaelic but not with -ach at the end... we could remove the speculation and see if someone comes along and can point to a source which lists the speculation, we can revert it.

Getting really close, but only one thing bothers me:
I have updated this list to include only the remaining point that I feel is left and I'll update the 'On Hold' status.
BTW:Looking at you use of the word 'probably' again, I understand that must be a quote from your publication.

Update
That's a much better explanation! While I agree that a recent photo whould be nice, it's not necessary for GA status and all the other points have clearly been adressed.
Only one thought, which GA catagory would this be listed under? Historic Buildings? Fluffball70 10:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I e-mailed the West Lothian Sub-Aqua club and they gave us permission to use their picture from their website on Wikipedia. I've uploaded the picture here and left it for someone else's choice on postiton and size, but you may want to licence it better:

I've created a location map as requested on Scottish Wikipedians' notice board. The image is based on a non-scalable png file. If you would rather loose the contour information but have the image of lossless quality let me know and I will make it a vector graphic image.
I struggled to put it on the main page and have it look nice. I feel, in this case, having Orkney and Shetland on the map is distracting. At some point creating a location map without Orkney and Shetland might be a good idea as for showing locations they distract from the message trying to be put across. I suppose I should discuss that elsewhere.
Also I don't know if you would rather have a higher quality image, but still zoomed in to the west coast? An idea which has just occurred to me is to create a vector image with all of Scotland small in a corner, with a box drawn on it to show which section of the west coast we are showing in more detail. What do people think of this idea? I'll have a play when I have some time.
I've left the new map on the main page as even with the drawbacks it seems better than what was there. Mehmet Karatay 21:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Its a great improvement and many thanks.... and I agree about Orkney and Shetland. Ben MacDui (Talk) 19:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
The map does not integrate properly with the standard infobox. I've asked for some assistance. Ben MacDui (Talk) 09:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
