Dear Sir,
I have been away
from home for some
time & thus the delay
in replying to your
letter of 27th ulto [ultimo].
I see on referring
to old maps, documents
and books that there
have been at least
three ways of spelling

Creich, viz :-
1 Creich
2 Criech
3 Creech.
Which is correct I am
not able to say, but
Creich has for a very
long time back been
the acknowledged form
of spelling in all Estate
rentals & documents,
and I believe it is,
and has been for a long
time, the common way
of spelling the word, [and]

Sir,
There appears to be some
doubt as to the correct
spelling of the Parish
name of Creich or Criech.
I should esteem it a favour
if you would kindly
inform me, for the purposes
of the ordnance survey,
which you consider the
correct spelling, and upon
what authorities your
opinion may be based
Yours sincerely

Creich Manse
11/12/94
The old records give every possible spelling
Crech, Creech, Crich, Creich, Creach, Crioch,
As the same M.S.S. [Manuscripts] gives different spelling it
is clear the writer has no Standard
Meaning of word.
1 Crioch (i sounds e in Gaelic) gives in sound
Crioch (signifying a boundary, or terminus)
is applicable to the parish (it originally included
Assynt) & was thus the boundary between
the counties of Ross & Sutherland
2 Craobh = a tree, Creich was better wooded
than the neighbouring parishes - but that
would give the plural craobhan = but
this is distinctly a particular tree some hold
the parish takes its name from an old
oak in Spinningdale - but the word appears
in records older than the oak.
For nearly Two centuries it has invariably been
spelt Creich & it seems as near finality as possible
