Placename
Gaelic name: Draoraig
Name in Original Source: Draoraig
English meaning: Blood bay
Placename feature: Bay
Notes: Draoraig is just a little south-west along the coast from An Àirigh Dhriseach (q.v.). It has been uninhabited for a long time, and may never have been a significant settlement. In the census returns for 1841 and 1851, only a shepherd and his family were recorded as living there. After that, the name does not appear.
W. J. Watson's notes: 280: About a mile west of Airigh-Dhriseach, Bramble Shieling, is Draoraig, N. Dreyr-vik, Blood Bay
