Gauir or Gaoire, a stream of Fortingall parish, NW Perthshire, issuing from Loch Laidon (924 feet), which at its head receives the Ba, and winding 7 miles eastward to Loch Rannoch (668 feet), mainly across bleak Rannoch Muir. It expands midway, in times of heavy rain, into a large temporary lake, Loch Eigheach; forms several tumultuous far-sounding waterfalls; enters the head of Loch Rannoch by two channels, enclosing a green triangular islet; and contains abundance of trout, running from ¼ to 3 lbs.—Ord. Sur., sh. 64, 1873.
