This article appears in Volume V11, Page 390 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAIRLOCH (Gaelic gedrr, short) , a sea loch,
village
  and parish in the west of the county of Ross and Cromarty,
Scotland
 . Pop. of parish (1901) 3797. The parish covers a large
district
  on the
coast
 , and stretches inland beyond the farther banks of Loch Maree, the whole of which lies within its bounds. It also includes the islands of Dry and Horisdale in the loch, and Ewe in Loch Ewe, and occupies a total area of 200,646 acres. The place and loch must not be confounded with Gareloch in Dumbartonshire. Formerly an
appanage
  of the earldom of Ross, Gairloch has belonged to the Mackenzies since the end of the 15th century. Flowerdale, an 18th-century
house
  in the pretty little glen of the same name, lying close to the
village
 , is the
chief
  seat of the Gairloch branch of the clan Mackenzie. William
Ross (1762-1790), the Gaelic poet, who was schoolmaster of Gairloch, of which his
mother
  was a native, was buried in the old kirkyard, where a
monument
  commemorates him.
