Brecks of Aith [note] Brekka, a slope, Eið, an isthmus
Aith [note] Eið, an isthmus a very freq. [frequent] name in Shetland
Leir Wick of Aith [note] Leir, clay; vik, bay
It is not certain that this is not named after the Town of Lerwick. It would be quite correct as that now adopted contrary to the Eið name, but as it has been Resubmitted, it must be allowed to pass. JB
