Eilean Horrisdale is the largest island in Loch Gairloch. A family by the name of BAIN lived here in the late 1800s. Kenneth Bain, master seaman, left Eilean Horrisdale and moved to Inverness about 1890 and then with a young family to South Australia about 1900. He then moved to Katanning WA Australia and named the homestead "Horrisdale". The street name of BAIN SQUARE in Forrestfield WA Australia is named after this Bain family. Enie Bain, son of Kenneth, authored the book "The Ways of Life". Duncan Bain, son of Kenneth, a 10th Lighthorseman, lost his life in WW1. The name comes from
Thor, the Norse god of thunder. ==Footnotes==
