Greetings @
Chiswick Chap,
there is a "citation needed" tag in the Etymology section which I won't be able to fix (concerning "particularly those used by shepherds, and later coming to mean a more substantial and permanent small farm building in stone.
"), since I don't have the book(s); I skimmed some of the online sources and couldn't find the info there. Could you help cite that sentence? –

The only source for the DYK claim seems to be the Cooper book. Cooper is not a historian, he was a food journalist. And the book used as a source, Skye, is described as this:
Part guide, part gazetteer, part anthology, Cooper presents a comprehensive picture of the west coast of Scotland's magical Isle of Skye, past and present, in this new and updated edition of his classic and authoritative bestseller.
I unfortunately can't access the pages sourced in the citation on Archive.org, but nothing I have seen so far makes me think this is anything but wild speculation from a non-expert. The cursory Google searches I've done hvae not turned up any similar claims, so I'd love another source from an actual expert to verify this DYK. 71.11.5.2 ( talk) 17:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
