Re: Interpreting and pronouncing Gaelic place names

All excellent resources. For hills, the website Walkhighlands has a button you can press for a recording for the pronunciation and an interpretation of the name.

I have also just bought an excellent second-hand copy of John Murray's Reading the Gaelic Landscape, which I hope will help me to appreciate Gaelic place names - after all, they are a fascinating part of our heritage.

The Ordnance Survey has a first-class resource page covering Scots Gaelic place names- Click here to take a look

The section includes a map showing the extent of Gaelic orthography - which covers a large portion of the Challenge area. Click here to download this map as a PDF
