Talk:Stac Dhòmhnaill Chaim

Although clearly identified as a medieval site the presence of prehistoric pottery (and the nature of the site itself) suggest a lengthy occupation. I'll add it to Template:Prehistoric Western Isles if you think that's appropriate. Ben  Mac  Dui  18:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I think there will be many more articles better deserving inclusion on the template than this one (this site just has one piece pre-historic potttery so far). We just have to come up with some more articles!--Celtus (talk) 05:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Translation
"Stac Dhomnuill Chaim when translated from Scottish Gaelic means "One-eyed Donald's stack"."

No it doesn't. Cam means bent or crooked.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The story behind Donald Cam is that he was blind in an eye. The Gaelic link you gave gives 'one-eyed' as one of the meanings of cam. There's a Victorian book on Googlebooks that has a Gaelic saying that is supposedly describes him: Donald Cam, so called from being blind of one eye... ...his attacks on the latter were so fierce and frequent, so much so that to this day there is a Gaelic saying, Cha robh Cam, nach robh crosd, "whoever is blind of an eye is pugnacious".--Celtus (talk) 05:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
