A Crawford Otter Ferry Peter McBride Otter Ferry Gaelic Orthography New Statistical Account |
171 | A well known name applied to an extensive Gravel-bank jutting into Loch Fine, having a Beacon erected on its western extremity; "Near the north end of the parish, there is a very remarkable & beautiful sandbank, which juts out in a serpentine form almost into the middle of Lochfine. This bank is said to be about 1800 yards in length from the shore to its extremity at Low Water. In spring tides it is entirely covered at high water, and at 3 hours after the turn of the tide till low water it is wholly uncovered to within a few yards of its extremity. As the [word] in the Gaelic language, descriptive of a projecting ridge or bank in the sea, is Oitir, hence the origin of the name, Otter, given to an adjoining estate." New Statistical Account, |
