Placename
Gaelic name: Bealach na Gaoithe
Name in Original Source: Bealach na Gaoithe
English meaning: Pass of the wind
Placename feature: Pass
Notes: Information from Mike Summers, 13th March 2012. This name refers to an exposed section of road near, or at, the summit of the Bealach na Bà. The wind blows through here and stops the snow from settling on it, giving the false impression that the road is passable further on, when, in fact, the snow can drift in dangerously. [Exact location needs to be verified for the co-ordinates used]
