ˌbraiˌˌkorˈxruinˌvaləgən: upland of corrie of round little bag (shape) to follow the OS spelling, but quite likely a variant plural Chruinn-bhalgan, or round bags, perhaps referring to hillocks in the corrie: A. Watson 2015, 179

Coire Chruin Bhalgain: Coireachan Beinn a’ Ghlo [Blair Atholl Archive]

Coire Chruinn Bhalgain: Blair atholl Archive – place-names in Atholl Forest

Additional Information

The MS from the Blair Atholl Archive lists twenty-four corries on Beinn a’ Ghlo and uses the genitive article after ‘Coire’ a number of times but not with this name, suggesting that there is no article here.
