Ben Wyvis G. Beinn Uais (but prosthetic ‘f’ seen in Cabar Fuais) ; High Hill; ‘uais’ from the root seen in ‘uas-al,’ high, noble; Gaulish ux-ellos ; Gaulish ‘x’ becomes ‘s’ in Gaelic, but in Welsh it becomes ‘ch.’ Thus ‘ ux-ellos ‘ gives in Welsh ‘ uch-el,’ high, whence Ochil, Oykel, Achilty. The height of Wyvis is perhaps best appreciated from the higher parts of Inverness and neighbourhood. Watson 1904, 102-3
