| LEATHAD NA HOLLAG | Leathad na Hollag | William Innes Esq. Reay Mr Gunn, Schoolmaster Mr J. McDonald, Hillman, Milltown |
009 | This name applies to the rising ground between Braxside Burn and Allt Achadh na Graidhe. It is no great feature but the name is well known. I can get no meaning for Hollag, but it may probably mean "a little hole," as there are a number of small holes on the Leathad, or slope. |
