This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Strath, Isle of Skye and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Tobar a’ Bhristidh is related to a place called A’ Bhristeadh, ‘the breaking’, possibly because there is a cliff there that crumbles.”
