Placename

Gaelic name: Dubh-Ghlaic (2)

Name in Original Source: Dubh Glachd (2)

English meaning: Black hollow

Placename feature: Glen

Notes: (2) The Griffin/Beaton map places this name south of Allt na Crìche (1), which is in turn south of Salachar (q.v.) Mrs Annie Fraser's hand-drawn map held by the Applecross Historical Society places this name tentatively north of Salachar<br /><br /><br /><br />MacEachen's Gaelic Dictionary gives Dubh-Ghlaic as the nominative form, rather than Dubh-Ghlac which appears in Dwelly's Gaelic dictionary
