There are traces of ancient walls, possibly of some kind of stronghold, on Cnoc Ghillibreidhe, a rocky hill near Gallanach. The name may refer to the Earl Gilli who resided in Coll c. 980-1014, or to one of his desendants. According to the local tradition a "noble family" occupied this part in ancient times, their seat being known as "Du-clach" - ? Dun-clach.
