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:
“Coming down past An Garbh-Buaile, ‘the rough fold’ off to the east is An t-Eas Smùid, ‘the smoky falls’.”
