Talk:Gylen Castle

Notability of Some of the Text
I have removed the following from the article as I can't find any evidence of notability and am worried that it could well be nonesene; I also think it lacks a bit of context too. If anyone knows more about it or can provide evidence for its inclusion, feel free to post it here or to re-insert the text into the article, with increased context.

"the territory surrounding Gylen castle has more recently been the subject of bitter scone wars between a local incumbent, Andre de Crabbe, also rumoured to be trying to enlist the support of Toyo de' Lica, an Italo-Hungarian croissant magnate with designs on gaining a precious foothold in the Western Isles. See Stratchcavan's 'Museli Wars of Anciente Waddhurst' for details of a similar outbreak in the south-west a few years back." Robdurbar 14:30, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Etymology
Anyone got an etymology or other explanation for the not-very-Gaelic-sounding name Gylen? --Doric Loon (talk) 23:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

My original research version is that the Gyle in Edinburgh is apparently Goill in Gaelic, and that in turn is derived from the Norse for "gully" (see Golspie), Norwegian gjel. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether that is correct.---Ehrenkater (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Then again, the Gaelic WP article on Kerrera has Caisteal nan Geimhlean, "castle of the shackles".---Ehrenkater (talk) 19:25, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
