Mistakes in the wild?

I think I spotted a couple of 'mistakes' in the wild recently, or there's some use of the genitive I'm not familiar with.

"Am Beairt"

Can't see why that's using the genitive, wrong form of article too — should it not be "A' Bheart"?

And this one:
"Bùtha Scalpaigh"

Again, can't see why that's genitive. "Bùth Scalpaigh" surely?

Or if either of those are actually correct, why is that?

The i in beairt could just be a spelling mistake - no idea why it's masculine though.

Bùtha seems to be a dialectal variation.
