030 [situation] ⅜ Mile S. [South] of Lochornie.
A long ridge the surface of which is arable partly planted chiefly lying in the Parish of Beath and on the estate of Lassodie. Proprietor James Dewar Esquire. This name is pronounced to rhyme with Foyle - moyle etc. (see the name Lochgoilhead). Drumaguile is the local way of naming it, and it is spelled so on an old Estate map and on the adjoining estate map of Blairadam. Mr Dewar enquired of a Gaelic scholar the proper spelling and meaning of the name and since used the Gaelic Orthography.
