Gaelic name: Seòlaid, An t- (2)
Name in Original Source: An t-Seòlaid (2)
English meaning: Place of sailing

Notes: (2) This name appears in an undated list compiled by Kenneth Macrae F.S.A. Scot., (1903-1982) which is held by the Applecross Historical Society. The list runs in splintered sequences so it is hard to place this name accurately, however it seems to be in the vicinity of Camusteel township
