Hello Listers, Please does anyone know the translation of Garbhacha or Garbh acha? My Gigha ancestors lived there and later at Keills, Keils or Kills. I've just received an old map but can't find either of them. There is Eilean Garbh in the north - an almost-island - but no 'acha' attached to it. Grateful for any help Mary in Western Australia
