Capt [Captain] Gunn Braehour

026 |
A small lake north east of Loch a Mhuilinn. It is said that it received the name from the fact, that two or three men of the name of Calder were killed at this Loch, by a man of the name of Bain who lived some where about Dalawillan, to which place he brought the bodies and buried them in an old byre which stood about the centre of the graveyard there. This is supposed to have taken place some time during the 15th century. |

I have written, Abhainn an t-strath mòr, to this River on Sheet 27 but although this is the ancient name of the river, I find it is now generally known by the name Strathmore River. It is formed by the union of the Waters of Glutt and Rumsdale near Dalganachan. Its course is of a north easterly direction. After receiving the waters of numerous little Streams it discharges itself into the south side of Loch mòr. |

Thurso 31. Jany [January] 1872.
My Dear Sir,
I am favoured
with yours of 29th Inst [Instant].
My reason for maKing the
remarK about "Cuil Loch" was
that some years ago we had
an action in the Court of
Session between the Crown
and Coll [Colonel] Guthrie of Scots Calder,
in which this Loch is an
important boundary point.
all the witnesses in that
action called it by the
name of "Cuil Loch" and
in all the Plans produced
in that case it is called
by the same name.
There [Continued on page 76] |

is another loch adjoining
it, at the South end, which
in the summer season is
dry, or at least nothing more
than a swamp & which
the 'Natives' sometimes cal
"Cuil Loch-more", but it
is nothing more than
the overflowings of
"Cui-Loch". - I am anxious
about the name, as it
is an important point
of the boundary between
the Crown's Estate of
Dorrery and the Estate of
Scots Calder.

Captn [Captain] Gunn of Braehour,
who is a Tenant on the
Scots Calder Estate, and he
tells me the name of the
Loch is, as I have mentioned,
"Cuil-Loch", which means
the "Narrow Loch", and as
you remark, agrees with
the shape of it,
I may mention that
neither Captain Gunn nor
Mr MarwicK Sutherland
are good authorities and it
is a pity your Meres-men
did not obtain more
reliable authorities.
I went over the grounds
referred to with Captain Gunn's

out "Cuil-Loch", as a
well Known Loch, where
the boundaries of the
Estates of the Crown
Sir J.G.T. Sinclair and
Scots Calder all met in
In talKing with Captain
Gunn today he said, Marwick

Cuil-Loch but he Knows
nothing about it".

Six Inch Sheet 21. Caithness - Cuil Loch -
Remarks on the Plans, &c.
We cannot reconcile
the position of the names
with the description given
by the Town Clerk of Thurso
"there is another loch
adjoining it, at the South
end, which in the Summer
Season is dry, or at
least nothing more than
a swamp, & which
the Natives sometimes
call Cùil Loch-More"
By our plan Cuil Loch
More is North of Cuil Loch
but the Town Clerk says
South.
Please arrange the
position of the names
on the trace attached -
[Signed] RM Parsons Cp RE [Captain Royal Engineers]
5-2-72 [5 February 1872]
Replies.
Captain Parsons
I have written the
names in parish as
Mr Brims writes them.
But I think that, though
he may be right as to
the spelling 'Cuil Loch' -
he must be wrong in the
remark quoted.
[Signed] FW Nixon Lt RE [Lieutenant Royal Engineers]
Cùil Loch is now
written to the great
Loch - "Cùil Loch
More" is rejected altogether
as being open to question -
it reads two ways -
And is only called so
sometimes by the
Natives - as the
T.C. [Town Clerk] says in
page 2 -
[Signed] A. McLachlan 8 - Feb 72 [February 1872]
Corresponding alteration is also
made in the name of the Stream
