Summary

Places named after a boat.

A Skye galley called An Eala Bhàn would come on raids to North Uist and several places on both islands are named after it. This information came from Ùisdean MacKenzie, a schoolmaster who was in Portree, and Alasdair MacMillan from Berneray, who was a missionary in Lochportan.
