GARVOCK

"Name - In the former Statistiacl Account of this parish, the name Garvock is said to be "originally Gaelic, and to signify the rugged hill" - consequently derived from the two Gaelic words Gairabh and cnoc. But, as the hill of Garvock is by no means particularly rugged, it is much more probable that Garvock is derived from the two Gaelic words Gairabh and pouc, signifying the rough marsh or meadow; a name which is still very descriptive of the uncultivated part of the parish: and must have been originally highly applicable to the whole."
