W. J. Watson's notes: 207: Kenmore - G. a' Cheannmhor; ceannmhor (Ir. cend-mór or cendmár) means 'big-headed'; cf. ceanndearg, red-headed. This adjective seems to be here used as a noun fem. The G. Of Kenmore in Perthshire is the same, and both as accented on the first syllable. Sròn na Ceannmhoir, Kenmore Point.
