Deasbaireachd:Bogh Mòr

Tha David Ross a' sgrìobhadh ann an "Scottish Place Names", Birlinn, Edinburgh 2001: "Both (Scottish Gaelic - silent th) ' hut, house'; mòr (Scottish Gaelic) 'big'. The reference is presumably to the house of a local chief on Islay; in 1767 the old clachan was laid ot as a 'model town'."

Fios: "Macniven, A. 2006, p. 104: FN124 The planned village of Bowmore was founded in 1768 by Daniel Campbell of Shawfield, then laird of Islay (RCAHMS 1984:284-287). There is no record of settlement at ‘Bowmore’ before this point. The lack of an article suggests this may be a name of Norse origin."
