Note: Cloch Maluidh - "Cloch - A stone."
"Mala, Maladh, maluidh. - A brow, brow of a Hill etc." - (Gaelic)
Literally - The Stone on the Brow of the Hill
I spell Clochmaloo because it gives the exact sound of the name. It means St. Moluach's Stone, probably patron saint of Rhynie. Compare Kilmolew, which occurs trice on the West Coast, & means the Church of Moluach. Maluidh is very bad - the accent is quite wrong. perhaps Clochmalew might have been better but - maloo has been adopted in 2 books since I first used it. JMD [James McDonald]
