014.09 A large wood having some fir trees scattered through it. The name formerly belonged to a Farm Steading which stood near it. "Garradh Ban", signifies a fair den, cave, or garden, according to the Gaelic Dictionary, but it usually interpreted by the Highlanders as "the garden or any enclosure surrounded by a dike". The first named authority - A. Menzies, who understands well the Gaelic language (in its meaning only) interprets it thus.
