Revd [Reverend] Alexander Gunn, Watten Village. Mr John Doull, Postmaster. Mr John Tait, Mason, Watten Village. |
019 | This name applies to a small hollow or strath in which there used to be a lot of marshy holes, but they are now quite dry, and it is only after very wet weather that water remains here, on account of the adjoining fields being well drained. This name is derived from the three gaelic words "Strath-Dubh-Lochan" which means the Strath of the darK pool, and is situated between the T.P. [Turn Pike] Road and the "Wick Water". |
