Finlaggan Gallic Translation edit
The Scots Gallic translations in this article are all problematic.
First of all if Finlaggan is "Port an Eilein" then Finlaggan Castle is going to be "Caisleán/Lios/Dún Phoirt an Eilein". It absolutely cannot be "Port an Eilein" too.
Second Finlaggan itself looks Gallic all on its own: Fin from "Fionn" (Fair/blond/white) and lagán, meaning hollow or valley. So the "Port an Eilein" translation looks even more suspect. Particularly given that Port Ellen is a separate location.
I propose either removing both translations entirely, or supporting them with citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.189.242 (talk) 16:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
Proposed merge edit
Given that both the Finlaggan Castle and Finlaggan articles are relatively short and that they both contain duplicated information, thus overlapping each other I would suggest that the two articles are merged. Finlaggan Castle was at the end of the day on Loch Finlaggan. I suggest that the castle has its own headed section within the Finlaggan article.QuintusPetillius (talk) 11:05, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
