The county lists on Wikipedia, probably derived from other sources such as censuses, tends to have the same spelling as Logainim.</p><p>The <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/NationalLibraryOfScotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NationalLibraryOfScotland</span></a> now has good scans of 6 inch maps and these are much more legible than the photo-reduced ones of GSGS 3906. <a href="https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16.2&amp;lat=53.03092&amp;lon=-9.24964&amp;layers=257&amp;b=osm&amp;o=100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=</span><span class="invisible">16.2&amp;lat=53.03092&amp;lon=-9.24964&amp;layers=257&amp;b=osm&amp;o=100</span></a></p>
