The meaning of Loch Drunkie

What is Google for if you cannot search for meanings of this and that.  

In the case of Loch Drunkie I had to check out if it derived from Scots Gaelic and sure enough Drunkie is a corruption of the Gaelic Loch Drongaidh which means "loch between the ridges".   One of the ridges happens to be the line of the Menteith Hills.

Mystery solved!

    How are you today Celia.

    I was wondering if you could do me a favour. But no pressure - fine if you don't want to or are too busy.

    Are you a member of StumbleUpon . If you are I would be stoked if you picked a post of mine that you liked and "liked" it in StumbleUpon.

    I'll have a look - can't say I've heard of it.
