Scottish Gaelic place name
I have a question. The little island that Castle Stalker sits on in Lock Laich is called the Cormorants Rock. I have seen two versions of this in Scottish Gaelic and I am not sure which one is correct. They are:

1. Creag ab Sgairibh
2. Creag an Sgairibh

Coincidentally, this phrase also doubles as the "battle cry" for clan Stewart of Appin. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Rob

Creag an Sgairbh.

Sin e!
