Loch-na-Ceartach?

If the 'Sunart' is right then probably Lochain na Cuthaige of which there seem to be two right next door to each other! See
OS Grid reference NM748642

THAT seems plausible, but how are we to understand the differences between the collector's and our (or the old and new) names? There doesn't seem to have been a wholesale renaming of features in Scotland, but certainly Mr MacDonald Macvicar (of all people!) should have known the name of the place where he collected the specimen....k
