Additional Information
There is also a place on Skye with a similar Gaelic form. Forbes gives this as (Cilltaraglan, Cill Taraghlain, Cill Talorgan). All the non-Watsonian forms give Taragla(i)n whilst Watson gives Taraghlain. In some cases he assumes that the INV and Skye names have identical Gaelic firms, but Robertson and Henderson give Taragla(i)n with no lenited g.
