Allt Drudhaidh Cf Gaulish Druentia (Gaelic Druie Badenoch) Robertson Collection MS 372, 102 

Additional Information

This is by Meall Druidhe. The Gaulish name Druentios is suggested by Isaac, 2006 as perhaps cognate with *dru- ‘oak’ , although Nicolaisen et al cite Old European/IE *dreu , ‘drip’. The question here is whether the name is now derived, or thought to derive from G drùidh, ‘penetrating, oozing’ . This seems the most likely derivation, and would be cognate with Allt and Lairig Dhrù in Badenoch.
