N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

'Malghyrdy' = Meall Ghaordaidh perhaps?

Yes:
Systematic Arrangement of British Plants William Withering, refers to "Malghyrdy in Glenlochai".
Flora Scotica William Jackson Hooker, says "upon Malghyrdy in Breadalbane".
Scotland's Mountains Before the Mountaineers Ian R Mitchell, seems to confirm that Malghyrdy as Meall Ghaordaidh

Spelling variations include: Malghyrdy, Mealgirdhy, Meall Ghaordaidh, Meall Ghaordie!
Zooming out in this map shows the mountain together with Glen Lochay and BREADALBANE. The boundary marked through the summit is a modern administrative one.
