Eilean Lagan a' Phuirt [note]
"Island of the Port Hollow". - "aon lag" is the Gaelic for "one hollow",
not "lag aon", "The noun always follows its numeral", dà lag. two hollows;
(literally two, or 2 hollow); tri luig, 3 hollows - &c. From this it is evident
that "Island of One Port Hollow" is not the signification of "Eilean
Lag Aon a' Phort" -
