GARRAN FORD | Garran Ford | Mr. James Edwards. Wellheads. Mr. Alexander Edwards. Collonach. Mr. Alexander Edwards. Artloch. |
025 | This name applies to a small ford on the Collonach Burn - but it has scarcely a claim to the name of ford - as the burn is so small - however, it is well known by that name. |
CLASHMACH HILL | Clashmach Hill | Mr. James Edwards. Wellheads. Mr. Alexander Edwards. Collonach. Mr. Alexander Edwards. Artloch. |
025 | A hill of considerable eminence lying nearly north west and south east - it is all covered with heather except on the west and south sides - there the farmers are ploughing up the hill as far as possable Clashmach - means the Grayheaded hill - but the word looks like a corruption of Clash-nach - meaning "the field of the Hollow" - it is partly in the parish of Gartly Aberdeenshire |
