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:
“Passes between hills have names too. One is Cadha a’ Chumain, ‘the pass of the pail’, near Elgol through which one would climb to get to Camasunary.”
