Placename

Gaelic name: Sgeir Bheithe (2)

Name in Original Source: Sgeir Bheithe (2)

English meaning: Birch reef or skerry

Placename feature: Fishing mark

Notes: (2) This name is also applied to a formerly well-known fishing mark: when you can see the green on An Àird Mhòr (q.v.) presumably on the south-west tip, ' ... this was the fishing mark for coleys. You’d be halfway between Crowlin and Kyle, halfway across the Lighe Aillseach.' Information from Donald R. Cameron, 02/08/2012 [Co-ordinates are approximate for this part of the sea.]
