004 | This name applies to a level piece of water grass-land, along the shore of the Moray Firth, and within a few minutes walk of the town of Inverness. A good carriage drive runs through it, and along it are placed the butts of the Rifle Range of the Inverness Volunteers, as well as a Battery of 4 guns (with the necessary magazine) for the use of the volunteer artillery. |

Mr. James Souter, Church Street, Inverness Mr. James Anderson Arthur Forbes Esq. of Culloden Mr. Forbes Sandison, Harbour Master. |
004 | This name applies to a level piece of water grass-land, along the shore of the Moray Firth, and within a few minutes walk of the town of Inverness. A good carriage drive runs through it, and along it are placed the butts of the Rifle Range of the of the Inverness Colunteers, as well as a Battery of 4 guns (with the necessary magazine) for the use of the volunteer artillery. The prevalent notion here is that the name is derived from the circumstance of a very long man having been cast on the shore and buried here. No person can, however, tell when this occurred nor where he was interred - Evidently the name has originated the tale. Those who ought to know best say that the name comes from the Gaelic Long = Ship and min = flat which seems very reasonable when the flat character of the ground is considered, and the fact that in former times, vessels used to lie here. |
