"• LSO: The peasantry have fabled that Loch-an-Scuir, a lake near Kesh-Carrigin in the Parish of Kiltubbrid, is named from Oscar, the son of Ossian, but as we have the authority of the O’Duigenans for its correct orthography we must reject a tradition which very probably is not one hundred years old. The same remark will hold good with respect to a Cromlech near the lake, said by them to be Oscar’s grave, but the field in which it stands they call Achadh an Scuir, i.e. the Field of the Scor. …. There is an island on Lough-an-Scur called by the peasantry Jail Island, but I wish to have it Prison-Island on the Map. Mac Rannall’s Castle on the same lake is called Caisleán Seóin by the Irish, and Castle John on Larkin’s Map. " |

"• Pinkman Loch-an-Scuir = Lake of the horse stud. Scor, genitive scuir, is a word with various meanings. Joyce translates loch-an-scuir lake of the horse-stud and O’Donovan, in the Supplement to O’Reilly’s Dictionary, gives the meaning tent or camp. This is the name of a lough and the name of a townland in Kiltubrid Parish. The place south west of the lough was called Achadh-an-Scuir and is now known as Lough Scur townland. The Annals of Loch Cé have a number of references to this lake or lough. “The four sons of Cathal Mac-an-Caic McRannall were taken prisoners on Loch-an-Scuir.” AD 1346 “Manus O’Rourke, who had been held by O’Reilly in Cloch-Locha-Uachtair, escaped from it and went to the castle of Loch-an-Scuir.” AD 1390 “Loch-an-Scuir was taken by Cathal Dubh, son of Brian Mac Diarmada.” AD 1580 The Mac Rannalls, who were chiefs of Muintir-Eolais, had this castle on Lough Scur. They were subject to O’Ruairc but frequently rebelled and rose in arms against him. “O’Donnell, O’Rourke |
