Note: Moss of Bad-na-moin - I think Bad-na-moin is right, but some of our best Gaelic scholars say Bad-na-moan, clump or hamlet of the women, which I consider Irish not Scotch Gaelic.
With this difference of opinion, it would be better to say Badnaman, one word. J. McD. James McDonald
Note: "Bad. - A tuft. na - the. Moin - Moss. (Gaelic)
Literally the Tufty Moss, or the Shrubby Moss, which as Anglicized by the Authorities is "Moss of the Tufty Moss."
