Hi Everyone I know someone on the list is knowledgeable about Scottish place names. Would you help me please. There is a mountain (or hill) near Moy near Loch Moy and Loch Laggan called "Beinn a'Chaoruinn". What does this mean in English, please? Thanks Heather NSW, Australia
Heather I understand that Beinn a' Chaorainn (usual spelling) means "hill of the rowan".
