Calum Mc Ean Yairo

One of the men who ferried Charles Edward Stuart to the mainland. Calum Mc Ean Yairo is a patronymic: Malcolm son of John. He would likely otherwise be known as Calum or Malcolm MacKinnon. "Yairo" is either an adjectival nickname or a reference to place. The closest phoenetic possibility is "iar-ogha" (great-grandson, perhaps of someone famous). Other possibilities include "iar-thuath" (Northwest), and eàrra (scar). Thank you to Rob Dunbar and Aonghas MacCoinnich for input on the interpretation of this word.
