Origins of "Auchtertool"
Auchter is said to be a Gaelic word, signifying a height, and Tool seems to be a corruption of Tiel, a rivulet which rises in the parish and runs through it; hence Auchtertool signifies the higher grounds on the Tiel. It does not appear that its name has undergone any alteration from that originally given it.
