“Dalchallum 1812. (Registers). Dal, Gaelic, is a field (Watson), and the low ground on the seaward side of the long “street” of Dalcholm croft houses is likely the field. Were dail the possible original, modern dail is a field; Macbain gives an obsolete meaning, a portion, which may have applied here, this considerable area of croft ground between Clashbuie and Glaslochan, and extending from the main road to the sea, might have been the portion of one Callum.” A.
