Applecross Placenames Project

Placename

Gaelic name: Camas a' bhlarain

Name in Original Source: Camas an Laran

English meaning: Bay of the mare

Placename feature: Bay

Notes: Spelt Camas an Laran on the Griffin/Beaton map, this name needs verification. This name may be one which appears in an undated list compiled by Kenneth Macrae F.S.A. Scot., (1903-1982) and held by the Applecross Historical Society. The list runs in splintered sequences so it is hard to place this name accurately, but there is a Camus a bhlaran (sic) listed as the names spin out along the coast road towards An Àirigh Mheadhan
