It was built about 100-300BC Before Christ and reaches some 10 metres (35 feet) high. The Viking name for Haigh is Hagi it means from the hedge or edge, their is also a Charlabhaigh Loch alongside of Dun Charlabhaigh Broch which I beleive was what Charlab sailed down in and then called it after himself Charlabhaigh Loch Charlab from the edge meaning Charlab from the waters edge which separates land and Sea. Haigh obviously could mean from the grass edge but don't you think it makes more sense that their was a person named Charlab who sailed into one of the Scottish Loch's and named it after himself, their have been Vikings in Stonoway isle of Lewis in Scotland and both Dun Charlabhaigh Broch & Loch Charlabhaigh are alongside of each other, the vikings moved inland and the name Haigh also moved inland with them, from Scotland to Wales can be seen Haigh's and I have seen Haigh's in America, Australia, New Zealand & Africa on the internet and the Vikings are famous for moving around and not settling in just one place, I'm Sean Haigh.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-65116571116578055602009-12-19T14:11:30.888-05:002009-12-19T14:11:30.888-05:00ben do you have any pictures?ben do you have any pictures?Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383812070175961882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-40174672094160333962009-12-19T11:15:53.710-05:002009-12-19T11:15:53.710-05:00I had the pleasure of meeting "Mr Jam" s...I had the pleasure of meeting "Mr Jam" several years ago. He is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. The enthusiasm with which he approaches life defys his age. He took me on a tour of his Rockfalls property, explaining his vision for the place. If he is ever able to complete it, it will be amazing. The fact that so few of his designs were ever built is a loss for the world we live in.<br />Ben SherrBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09453787871462440597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-62417086931320549482007-10-24T21:21:00.000-04:002007-10-24T21:21:00.000-04:00Haig and Haigh are interchangeable, Haig/h is an A...Haig and Haigh are interchangeable, Haig/h is an Armenian name and we have a different alphabet.
