This entrance faces that of a Image The name Auchenlinnhe seems out of place among those of the neighbouring farms (many of which contain the element "Blair"), but this may be because the buildings date from as recently as the twentieth century (they are located on the same site as an earlier structure, but there was an intervening period when no buildings were there). This may also be why the name looks superficially Gaelic, but its second half is spelled oddly, from a Gaelic perspective. [The "Blair-" placenames that are common in this area appears to represent subdivisions of an original "Blair" (< Gael. "Blàr" = "muir", "field"); see the chapter by Simon Taylor in "Changing Identities, Ancient Roots" (2007).]
