>From Charles Maclean's book
"Gortain-a-ghibain has grid reference of 326.241
Gibean = Hunchback
Goirtein a'Ghibean
Little enclosure of the hunchback (possibly)
However this is in the vicinity of Traigh na Margaidh
and Gamhainn = year old calf, stirk so
Little enclosure of the stirk may be more likely."
It looks to me as if it would be just north of Ardfenaig (where I had some
rellies) Jean whimp
