druineach
Watson in Place Names of Ross & Cromarty says, “Sometimes equated with druidh. It is based on Old Irish druin, glossed glice, wise, clever, and druineach in Irish means an embroideress. The exact significance of it in our placenames is far from clear. Logan in Scottish Gael, takes it to mean cultivators of the soil, as opposed to hunters, which may represent a genuine tradition. Martin makes mention of little round stone houses in Skye, capable of containing only one person and called Tey nan druinich. Druineach, says Martin, signifies a retired person much devoted to contemplation.”
