Placename

Gaelic name: Glac Tric

Name in Original Source: Glac Tric

English meaning: Often-used Hollow (?)

Placename feature: Defile

Notes: This name is applied to a general area depicted as immediately brushing the southern sides of Loch nan Eun-tom and Lochan an Fheòir but satellite photographs are inconclusive in revealing exactly the defile or hollow. It is possible that this hollow may have formed part of a path or pass that was regularly traversed?
