Applecross Placenames Project

Placename

Gaelic name: Uaimh nan calman

Name in Original Source: Uaimh na calaman

English meaning: Cave of the doves

Placename feature: Cave

Notes: This name appears in an undated list compiled by Kenneth Macrae F.S.A. Scot., (1903-1982) which is held by the Applecross Historical Society. The list runs in splintered sequences so it is hard to place this name accurately, however it appears from its placement that it might be in Camusteel. Doves commonly roosted, and still roost, on ledges in an overhang on the west side of Rubha Chamas Teile for which co-ordinates are given here
