The nearest barn is at West Grainhill, and the most distant buildings are at East Grainhill. In between is a new bungalow called Grainhill House. The 1:25,000 maps suggests that the road goes through to Newmill on the other side of the glen, but the 1:50,000 map shows only a path beyond East Grainhill. I speculate that the name has nothing to do with grain crops, but may be from Gaelic 'grian', meaning 'sun'.
