From Scottish Gaelic Ilidh, of uncertain derivation, but Isaac (2005) connects this with a Proto-Celtic root meaning "cry" (cf. Old Irish ilach (“victorious howl”)).

固有名詞

the Ullie

1. Synonym of the Helmsdale: a river in Highland council area, which flows into the North Sea at Helmsdale.
   • 1946 March and April, “The Why and The Wherefore: L.M.S.R. Wick Main Line”, in Railway Magazine, page 130:

     The Inverness to Wick line of the late Highland Railway, now L.M.S.R, was diverted inland from Helmsdale up the valley of the Ullie, as, although this entailed a wide circuit, the route offered a considerably easier course from the engineering and gradient point of view than attempting to continue round the coast via Lybster.

使用する際の注意点

The river valley is also known as Strath Ullie, instead of the more common Strath of Kildonan.
