Poolewe
Poolewe (Scottish Gaelic ''Poll Iù'') is a small village in Wester Ross in the North West Highlands of Scotland, about 75 miles (120 km) north-west from Inverness, by Loch Ewe. The River Ewe, one of the shortest in Scotland, joins the sea less than from Inverewe Garden, renowned for its subtropical plants. The village is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The village has an indoor heated swimming pool, a coffee shop, several hotels and a shop. Most of the arts events in the area take place in the village hall as well as the village markets. ==Origin of the name== Literally the name means "the pool on the Ewe river". But William J. Watson, in his 1904 ''Place Names of Ross and Cromarty'' states that the village was called by the natives in his time "Abhainn Iù, Ewe River". Watson claims also said that he had taken, "Ewe" (Gaelic iu), with hesitation, from Irish 'eo', "Yew Tree’, but conceding that it may be a Pictish name.
