“Torrluinnsich – Torlouisicht 1543, Torloiford (Blaeu), lounging knoll, from ‘luinnse,’ a loafer, which comes from the obsolete English word ‘lungis,’ lounger. The natives say that it is a knoll where lazy people used to lie to the sun; and it is very suitable for the purpose. O.S.M., Torrlaoighseach.” Watson 1904, 172
