134 | A good sized Glen running from "Monevechadan" in a north west direction until it terminates at "Tom a' Chrochain" three fourths of a mile north of "Cruach nam Mult". This Glen is very narrow & rocky particularly so at the south eastern extremity where the County road crosses Allt Gleinn Bhig. There are a number of Caves on the hill forming the southern boundary the most particular is "Uamh mac Eion Riabhaich, and another a short distance west, but which has no name. Sig: [Signification] Little Glen. Although "Gleann Beag" seems to have been the name originally given to this place, of the other, or Hell's Glen it is unaccountable how it crept in except, (as quoted by the authorities) it be attributed to the excentricities of a farmer who many years ago resided at "Ardno", and who owing to his strange manner became very unpopular in the neighbourhood. The latter is well known by tourists. |
