| SLEACH WATER | Abhain nan Sliabh also Sliach River Sleach Water |
Capt [Captain] Gunn Braehour Donald Gunn Dalnaha M. Sutherland Achscoriclett Estate Plan of Strathmore 1862 |
026 ; 027 | Formed by the union of the two Streams, Allt Loch na Cloich, and Allt Torcall, from which it pursues an easterly, or nor. [north] easterly course, receives the waters of Allt nam Breac, Uidh Ruadh and numerous other streams, and discharges itself into Loch Mòr, at the South west corner. N.B. As there isn't much Gaelic spoken in this place, I think it would be better to write the name, given to it, when spoken of in English. i.e. Sliach River. |
