Creach Dubh Fir Chreignis seascape No. 1 – A portion of the area assigned to this place name, though no exact topographic feature matches the description between Boga’ a’ Chuirn to the south, left, and Port an Tighe-shalainn, which is to the north, or right of this image.  This place name corresponds to the name attributed to a Kintyre warrior who features largely in several Jura oral legends dating to at least the 15th century, if not earlier.
