Additional Information
This is a very small place not mentioned on OS 1867. Loin Brecht could represent Lòn Breac and be related to present day Lonaville (Lòn a’ Bhile). This most likely reflects a coille name. RT, a local informant, says there are nearby Coille Dubh (‘no lenition locally’) and Coille Mhòr .
