[Note beside 'Moss of Maol-Charrach']
Maol. The brow of a rock.
Maol. Make Blunt. Bald or bare (Gaelic)
Maol-Charrach (The bare shaggy ground)
[Maol-Charrach] This is very doubtful. Meil is generally = meal.
Charrach I suspect must go with Tom a Charraigh & perhaps Forbrigs.
Is it possible that the "Gutcher Stone" has suggested all these names?
I can only ask the question, but would give the name Moss of Mulcharrach. [Initialled] JMcD.
