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:
“Creag Anna is a big cliff above Càrn MhicCuaraig and fortunately she is known locally. Anna was a MacKellag who lived nearby, tilled land up there and walked back and fore to her kin on the loch-side below.”
