Notes
The burn is now called Allt na Sithean (OS Digimap) but is recorded in the early nineteenth century as Ault-Trusty [details on website: http://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/beauly/pdfs/SURVP.pdf] The website considers this name in the context of the nearby Kirkfield (formerly Auchnahiglash, for *achadh na h-eaglaise, 'field of the church;) which may reflect the presence here of a chapel formerly serving the davoch of Giusachan. The name may therefore reflect the dedication of the old chapel.
