River Calder, Highland : ウィキペディア英語版 | River Calder, Highland
The River Calder ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Caladar)) is a left bank tributary of the River Spey in the Scottish Highlands. Its headwaters are the an t-Allt Ballach, Allt an Lochain Dubh and Allt Madagain which drain the mountain slopes at the southeastern corner of the Monadhliath. Their waters are added to by those of the Allt Fionndraigh and Allt a' Chaorainn dropping down into Glen Banchor from the north. The river turns southeastwards and skirts the western edge of Newtonmore, running beneath the A86 road before joining the Spey at Spey Bridge.〔Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale Landranger map sheet 35 ''Kingussie''〕 == Etymology == The name 'Calder' may signify 'hard' or 'rapid water' from the Brythonic words ''caled'' and ''dobhar''. Alternatively it may be connected with the Gaelic ''callaidh'' meaning 'hazel'.〔Ross, D. 2001 ''Scottish Place-names'', Birlinn, Edinburgh〕
