Astail [Notes]
altered from Astail to Asdale
Astail - Submitted again in Sheet 108 to the Revd. [Reverend] J.M. Joass who now recommends Astail
Although not collected on the ground. I have no
doubt Asdale is the correct form of this name
which is Norse (= hollow or valley) but has been
turned into Gaelic (= dwelling) - a number of
adjoining names depend upon these.
