Angus McMillan Whitefarlane James Brown Craw N Robertson Gaelic Orthography |
237 | A very small, but remarkable, Knoll immediately behind the houses of Whitefarlane. Bones were found in it many years ago, and it is supposed to have been a Burying Place. There is no tradition of a Chapel having been here. There are indeed the remains of what appears to have been a building but that is said to have been used as a "peat shed". The people here do not understand the word Caibeal to mean a Chapel but they use it as signifying a place of internment. Caibeal A family burying place. |
