014.02 | "Tom nan Broc" is a Gaelic name signifying, The Badgers' Knoll, or Knoll of the Badgers, and applies to an extensive feature having a trigl. [trigonometrical] Station upon it. The object however is unimportant as a hill feature, being but slightly elevated above the surrounding moors except on the north side where the descent is abrupt towards the Boundary dyke of the Parish. The South side falls to the head of the "Burn of Achlais", but is so gradual as not to be defined on this & part of the south west side. The name admits of various modes of construction according to the rules of the language, but that given adheres best to the sound as well as to the literal meaning as understood and given upon the authorities quoted - Viz. the Bagers hill or knoll - pronounced "Tom na broch". |
