“Pitourie…. now Bail’odharaidh. The adjective odhar means “dun,” and odharach, with an old genitive odharaigh, or rather odharach-mhullach, is the plant devil’s bit. The plant may have given the name to the farm.” MacBain, p. 189

Additional Information

Diack MS2276 gives Pitourie as ’m bal du i.e. Am Baile Dubh, but this appears to be nearby Baldow.
