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:
“On the other side of the river mouth Roy’s map shows a settlement called Dalroyd, which is known today as Dail Ròid. Roid means bog-myrtle which grows here, thus ‘bogmyrtle haugh’.”
