“Few people I have met can recall hearing much Gaelic spoken in Cromdale, and the Gaelic for Advie seems to have been lost. In correspondence dating from the early 19th century, it is called Skiradvie. According to WJ Watson, the parish of Alvie is derived from Allmhaigh, meaning “At rock plain”. The second element here is magh, plain, and it may be that Advie also contains this term.” MacGregor, Gaelic Place-names of Strathspey, 308
