| KYLE RHEA | Kyle Rhea Kyle Rhea Kyle Rhea Kyle Rhai |
Rev. [Reverend] D McKinnon Mr. McKinnon, Farmer Kyle-akin Mr. D. Cameron Innkeeper Kylerhea Old Estate Map (of 1799) Lord Macdonald's) |
042; 048 | This name applies to a narrow Channel Connecting the Sound of Sleat with Loch Alsh, extending in a North & South direction for a distance of about two miles Rudha na Caillich is at its northern termination and Kylerhea Ferry is its Southern boundary. Name Anglicised Norse - Pronounced like, and probably of the same origin as, Reay in Caithness, another district full of Norse names - Perhaps from Hroe "a wreck" - Hroe - is also the first syllable of Hroe-rekr the Norse for Ruairidh or Roderick. In the old Estate Maps quoted above, a curious circumstance is that the cultivated or arable land round Kyle Rhea and other hamlets is called "The Acres of Kyla rhai" etc as distinguished from the hill pasture: manifestly from the Norse Akr, arable land. |
