Placename

Gaelic name: Milltown Gardens

Name in Original Source: Milton Gardens

English meaning: Milltown Gardens

Placename feature: Settlement

Notes: This is an alternative name for An t-Sràid, and appears in a number of 19th-century census returns. The name is believed to relate to the fact that the residents here had no croft ground, so they were given patches of garden ground on the slope behind their houses, a slope which lies below (and west of) Cùl an Dùin
