Blar nam Fear Móra
Subject
The topic of the resource
Blàr may be translated as "battle" but it is believed to be unlikely in this context.
Local tradition is that a battle was fought there - but who fought or when is not told. Rather, the name is closer to "Marshy field" and has been romanticised heavily into a battle that never happened. (McBain 2016)

Title

Newton
Subject
The topic of the resource
An example of a Scots name in Assynt. The following is conjecture, but with a good basis. Nwton derives from the use of the Scots word " toun ", which is literally just a cluster of buildings , as in the common term: " ferm (farm) toun " for farm buildings or cottages. So it is probably a slight misreading by OS, or a slight misunderstanding of a Lowland term, presumably brought in with Lowland shepherds after the Clearances. (Noble 2016)

Loch na Gainmhich
Subject
The topic of the resource
Local tradition:-
Yet another sandy loch (must be 7 or 8 in Assynt), but the waterfall and the valley leading up to it go by many names. The wailing widow waterfall, the fairy glen, hanged mans falls.
Legend has it that the last man hanged in Assynt - a cattle rustler from Lewis called Donald of the Moss who fled to Assynt and was granted sanctuary on the grounds he kept the peace....he didn't and murdered a young ad for his plaid. He tried to flee to Kylesku but was caught, forced to dig his own grave, plait his own noose and was hanged from the rock spire on the way into the glen.
Another legend tells of a young man hunting deer falling to his death in the rain at the top of the falls. On the following morning his mother came to the place of his death and threw herself over the same drop.
A far more recent legend from the 90's tells of a couple of newlyweds camping at the loch and the wife woke up on a foggy morning and walked over the cliff to her death.

Creag Clais nan Cruineachd
Description
An account of the resource
The crag of the gully of the Picts (but see additional notes)
Subject
The topic of the resource
Gemma Smith's research suggests the older map spelling suggests that the name is from an Old Irish construct.
In local discussions, we were unsure whether Cruineachd refers to wheat or gathering. Based on Home's old maps, showing "corn" in the area, we went for "wheat".
A third option is that Cruineachd rather means "gathering"
