Placename

Gaelic name: Taigh na Sròine

Name in Original Source: Tigh na Sròin

English meaning: House of (on) the Point

Placename feature: House

Notes: This is mentioned in an untitled song by Alasdair MacDhòmhnaill who was a bàrd known as An Dròbhair. The verse reads: <br /><br /><br /><br />Nuair a sguir iad dhen ghleadhraich,<br /><br />Fhuair an Dròbhair bìdeag choinnle,<br /><br />'S ged a bha an daorach air a' Philot,<br /><br />Fhuair sinn greim air tigh na Sròin. <br /><br /><br /><br />An Dròbhair was from the township of An Àird Dhubh, so it is likely that this Taigh na Sròine may be the same place as Taigh na Rinne but this needs further investigation
