MAOL NAN CROGAN. Scottish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. According to H. Cameron Gillies M.D.'s The Place Names of Argyll (London, 1906), maol means 'bald', often applied as a place-name to a mountain, while crògan, is derived from the word cròg meaning 'a claw', "and is a name given as fancifully indicative of the shape of the place." Alternatively, Scots Gaelic word crogan or crog, refers to small cups or jars.
