Fhithich is Gaelic for raven

I am told
  • the Fh is silent
  • the Th sounds like "h" in horse

    Can you add any further info?

    I would be interested to hear of any recollections or memories you have for the locations or subjects in these posts. Just add a comment .

    Just click on 'OK'

    There are just too many posts to go back and change each one to their new system but if you come across one and are desparate to know from where I took the photograph just drop me a line and I'll update it
