As you probably twigged it's gaelic.

I had a lab when i was wee and i remember my mum giving him his kennel club name. Seems like they have changed the rules and the breeder does it now?

anyway this would have been my version of Jasper's name.


alligin- jewelled
liath- grey
dubh- black
chon- dog


The jewelled black & grey dog !!!

Alligin is  a place in the stunning area of Torridon in Wester Ross- definitely my fave places on the mainland.

It's also the name of the local  mountains- Ben Alligin a favourite of mine.


In a year or so there will be a wee dug on the top of it !!

When i went to register to join the forum they said pick a unique name-soooooo here we are !

Hi Alan,
You refer to the mainland as if you might live on an Island??
Welcome to the forum from me and my non-working worker, Chloe.
We live on Skye, as you might deduce from my username, and I was amongst the mountains or Torridon just last week. Some pics are posted on another of my threads if you're interested  ;)
Hope you enjoy the forum  ;)


Sue and Chloe, happy girls on the Isle of Skye

Skye Sue,


I am from  Renfrewshire. Central belter i am afraid.

I get round the mountainous areas of the Highlands though ( and the odd loch or two)- i love Torridon.

The Cuillin are unique and special though as well.

I can just see Jasper playing on the beach at Glen Brittle campsite, while i battle with the midges and gabbro in Coire Lagan.


 We might be over in Skye early next summer ??
