Crockatee signifies either the house hill or the fairy hill. This is the old name of the hill and takes its name either from some ancient dwelling on it or from its being the haunt of fairies. The latter is said to be the case.

mo chró beag ag bun Chnoc a' Tighe
Tá'n Mhucaise mhór ar taobh shiar de/
Faoi nealtaí leath-bhealaigh go bun/
Tá Caisleán Mhic Suibhne taobh thoir de/
Ar bhruach glas cuan Caorach na dtonn/
Tá'n cuilinn 's caorthann 's fuinnseóg/
's aiteannach glas na mbláth mbuidhe/
'n aghaidh doininn dubh Gheimhridh mar ghárda/
In mo chró beag ag bun Chnoc a' Tighe
