Gleourach 1832 Thomson

“Gleourach. G. — Gleadhraich. Noisy, rattling. A high hill, lying at the back of Glenquoich Lodge, the summit of which is very steep and rocky.”
Ellice, Place-Names of Glengarry and Glenquoich, 1898, 1931 [both editions]

uproar: The Western Highlands, 1947 James A. Parker [notes supplied by Watson]

Early OS maps had Gleourach which was later changed to Gleouraich.

 

Gleadhrach is given in Dwelly as a noun as meaning ‘Noisy, prattling woman’ and ‘Kind of knotted seaweed used for cutting.’
