This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of the Rough Bounds of Lochaber and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Just south of Corryhully is Leac na h-Uinneige or ‘the slab of the window’, where over the millenia a hole has been worn into the stone by the water resembling a window.”
