This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Strath, Isle of Skye and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“From Loch nam Madadh Uisge flows Allt na Lùibe, ‘the burn of Luib’, which cuts right through Luib itself. Here there is an old double-arched stone bridge at the head of the old road to Strollamus.”
