Feulsaid. Described in 1874 as 'the ruins of dwelling houses and offices', the name being given as 'Folmhaisaite'; this was changed to 'Fallside' on the authority of three local informants for the revision of 1894, but the authority for the subsequent change of name to Feulside which appears on current OS maps is not known, the relevant Revision Name Book having been destroyed during World War II.
Name Book, 1874 (re-used in 1894)
