List of names as written Various modes of spelling Authorities for spelling Situation Description remarks
LEATHAD NA HOLLAG Leathad na Hollag William Innes Esq. Reay
Mr Gunn, Schoolmaster
Mr J. McDonald, Hillman, Milltown
009 This name applies to the rising ground between Braxside Burn and Allt Achadh na Graidhe. It is no great feature but the name is well known. I can get no meaning for Hollag, but it may probably mean "a little hole," as there are a number of small holes on the Leathad, or slope.
