英文释义

专有名词
  1. Synonym of the Helmsdale: a river in Highland council area, which flows into the North Sea at Helmsdale.
    — The Inverness to Wick line of the late Highland Railway, now L.M.S.R, was diverted inland from Helmsdale up the valley of the Ullie, as, although this entailed a wide circuit, the route offered a considerably easier course from the engineering and gradient point of view than attempting to continue round the coast via Lybster.

From Scottish Gaelic Ilidh, of uncertain derivation, but Isaac (2005) connects this with a Proto-Celtic root meaning "cry" (cf. Old Irish ilach (“victorious howl”)).
