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:
“Further up this glen is Màm na Luirg on maps, known locally as Màm Lorgan. This was the shortest and easiest way up to the west-side shielings for the glen folk. There was no defiite path but a multiplicity of tracks and flat and step-like pieces of ground.”
