“G. Baile-na-h-eaglaise, was the most important township on the Halladale. There was a church here in Norse times – doubtless of Culdee origin. Here also was the consecrated burying-ground for the lower parts of the strath, and still used as such. The site of the church may yet be seen.” Gunn, Sutherland and Reay Country

Campbell, H.F. Caithness and Sutherland, 1920 207
