Placename

Gaelic name: Cathair Dhubh

Name in Original Source: Cathair Dubh

English meaning: Black seat

Placename feature: Hill

Notes: A name that offers a grammatical question. Is this a masculine noun (throne/seat) or a feminine noun (fairy hillock)? There is above Cuil Dubh a' Chill (q.v.) a place called Meall a' Chathair Dhuibh so there must obviously be a Cathair Dubh in the vicinity
