Sgur a ghairich sguR ə GèRic: Dieckhoff Dictionary [i.e. Sgur a’ Ghàirich. headform is Sgour Gairich]

Ellice 1931 refers twice to “Sgurr Gairoch (Ben Garry)” described as being ‘on the south side of Loch Quoich’ (41, 100).

Scour Garioch (3,015 feet) = Garry’s peak (Garry was one of Fingal’s followers); pron. Scour Garrich: 1905, Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal 7, 202

Scour Garioch (3,015 feet) = Garry’s peak (Garry was one of Fingal’s followers); pron. Scour Garrich: 1905, Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal 7, 202

1832 Thomson has Scoura bheg for Gairich Beg. Whilst 1876 OS has Gearr-fhraoch Bheag!

The proposed form follows that of ‘Garry’s peak’.
