Placename

Gaelic name: Coire na Caorach

Name in Original Source: Coire na Caorach

English meaning: Corrie of the sheep

Placename feature: Corrie

Notes: This name only appears on the 1880 edition of OS Map Sheet CIX; on the 1905 edition it is recorded as Coire a' Chaorachain. The latter name is generally believed to be the more accurate and so the English version is more likely to translate as Corrie of the torrent
