Sources

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:

“Rumach or An Rumach is another neighbouring farm of Rhu, comprising the area of Rumach Hill or Cnoc an Rumaich, Rhu Breac or An Rubha Breac and An Tòrr Mòr. This district bordered both sides of the road which runs parallel with Loch nan Ceall. The substantial steading, in good condition, which remains today at Rhumach, was built by Archie MacDonald, (1756 -1829) although it may have been renovated at a later date. In the clearance of 1843, twenty families were evicted from here.”
