Meaning
[edit]What is the English translation of "Slochd"? Also, I've seen it written "Slochd Mhuic" - is that correct, and what does that mean also? --15:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'm no expert, but I think Slochd is from "sloc", which is Gaelic for pit or hollow. Mhuic is from "muc", which means pig. From looking at an OS map, I think Slochd Mhuic refers to one specific 'pit', which is now crossed by a railway viaduct. Whereas just Slochd can refer to a slightly larger area, which also includes Slochd summit, as well as the nearby Slochd Mòr and Slochd Beag.
- Ah, I know those - big and little, as in Turlough O'Carolan's tune Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór. Thanks. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:53, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
