[Loch-soilleir] Loch Sollier

[R Husted]

Actually, your Excellency, the official spelling in O&A has been fixed. 
The Dec 2003 Laurel letter of acceptance and returns Errata corrects all 
spelling errors. All instances of the spelling "Solleir" have been 
modified and we are now registered as Loch Soilleir as was intended.
