G Cuinneag, a cask in reference to its appearance: MacKay 1890
“when viewed from a distance, the peaks may be considered, with the help of a little goodwill, to represent a gigantic cuinneag with its ‘lug.’ This is the explanation of the Sutherland Cuinneag.” Watson 1904, p. 74 [discussing Carn Cuinneag]
