Etymology

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

While it is good that the total confusion about this name is properly represented, Dwelly's Gaelic dictionary does NOT suggest "sanctuary" for "Tòir". On the contrary it says "pursuers" and "diligent search". It does offer "churchyard" for "toir" *(ie without the accent). It does not recognise "Tóir" as quoted.Freuchie (talk) 23:13, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Torphichen website appears not to exist. In any event the link is broken. Freuchie (talk) 23:41, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
