Placename
Gaelic name: Garbh-poll [?]
Name in Original Source: Garabul
English meaning: Rough pool [?]
Placename feature: Field
Notes: Referred to as Garbold on an estate map of c.1810, the place name meaning is unclear. It is a name applied to a field between the site of Applecross House and the Applecross river. There is another Garabul/Garabol near Arrochar. It possibly contains a Norse element - garðr - meaning field.<br /><br /><br /><br />It has also been suggested that the name may have originally related to a pool on the river, indeed to the river itself, rather than to a field. Hence, 'garbh-poll', rough pool
