This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of the Rough Bounds of Lochaber and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Above the loch the map notes two cairns here: Càrn MhicLabhraich and Càrn MhicCuaraig, MacLaren’s Cairn and Kennedy’s Cairn respectively. It is not clear who these people were and it is possible some confusion on the map has created two names where there was once one.”
