"A grey quagmire" is the signification of this Gaelic name, but it is commonly interpreted by the Highland people as the "high meadow", and the latter agrees better with the nature of the object, which is somewhat higher and better protected, consequently, from the floods of the Endrick which sometimes deluge the "Low Mains" south of Critheach Ghlas". This name, like all the field or Park names adopted within the policies of Buchanan, is important, well-known, & desired by the Agent to be retained. "Critheach Ghlas" is pronounced "Cooragh Glas" or "Curragh Glas". |
