Extract from Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland. Very little is now known regarding this village. The houses have been all swept away, but it is known to have stood round where the present Free Church stands, and included a small part of the north end of what is now known as Sligneach. The name is considered to be Danish, but the meaning cannot be ascertained. |
