James Buchanan. Shepherd Duncan McIntyre Shepherd Gaelic Dictionary Dr. [Doctor] McFarlane |
014.06 | A hill feature near the eastern Boundary of the Parish. The name is Gaelic, signifying the stoney declivity, which is commonly interpreted by the Highland shepherds as "the breadth of the stones". The object however does not agree with the meaning of the name, there being neither abruptness nor stones on any part of the hill. In height this feature is next in importance to "Bad Ochainaich". The Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] McFarlane prefers the mode of spelling given upon his authority in the column of various modes &c. |
