What is the meaning of Lallybroch ?

Lallybroch is a fictional estate in the Scottish Highlands from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. The name Lallybroch is a Gaelic term that means “lazy tower“. It’s a reference to the estate’s old broch, Broch Tuarach, which translates to “north-facing tower” in Gaelic. The tower is said to lean slightly to the north because it was rebuilt multiple times.Lallybroch , Midhope Castle , Outlander tours Scotland
