Am Baile dearg: Robertson

“This has no Gaelic connection. It is reputedly named after a cradle”: MacLean 68
Cf also Watson 2002 (1909), 158 and Celtic Magazine, iii, p.374-5

Additional Information

I can find no corroborating evidence for Robertson’s form. It could be from the original appearance of the house as having red brick, although it is painted white now and there is no evidence for it ever having been otherwise.
