coilcheann

-inn, (DC), sm Short corn, the result of drought on dry sandy soil as in Uist. On such occasions it is too short to cut and has to be pulled up, but even then the seed is good, hence a local saying ‘Cha dug bliadhna coilchinn gort a-riamh do dh'Uibhist', a short-corn year never brought starvation to Uist.
