*LACH-NA-GUALAINN

h is here wrong?
Should be "Lack-na-gualam" from Leac nan Colum i.e. The Pigeon Declivity
Leac is the word most commonly used JMcD
"Leac. A flat Stone, a declivity, a tomb stone."
"Gualann. A mountain projection, a shoulder"
"Lach - A wild duck, or A duck." (Gaelic.)
"Calman, Colman, Colum, Colm, A Dove or Pigeon" (Gaelic)
COIRE MEACAN

GLEN DUBH
*Lathach-na-Gualainn - the Moss (or peat bog, or Mire) of the Shoulder (of the Hill).
The pronunciation of this in the North Highlands is as near as possible Lach-na-Gualainn, and is considered to be a good rendering of the word.

Gen. [Genitive] - Duibhe
Black, dark, Sad Mournful." (Gaelic)
