“Innerquhonray 1479 and 1538, Innerchonray 1571, Inverchonran 1633; G. Inbhir chòrainn (o nasal). The ‘inver ‘ is the confluence of the stream flowing through Glencoran with another small burn just before it reaches the Meig. The old form shows ‘n’ which has disappeared, but has left its influence on the nasal ‘o’ Còran is a stream name, and its old form, Quhonray, or rather Conray, is paralleled by the stream Conrie, flowing through Glenconrie in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, into the Don.” Watson 1904, 153
