Additional Information

On OS 1880 6 inch 1st edn. this is Ardross Cottages, present as Dublin Cottages from 1976. This
name was probably coined by immigrant Irish workers, although very close by is Carn na Feinne,
i.e. Càrn na Fèinne, ‘Cairn of the Fenians’. Since the name has a Gaelic equivalent, this has been
used, in concordance with the GSN rules, the Scottish grave has been used rather than the Irish
acute. Baile has been dropped for both reasons of length of sign and appropriateness.
