Why Ullish?

Were the Ullish people themselves of Norse stock. Just a thought.
ULLAPOOL.....ULLSWATER.....ULLISH (Ully)

Several historians have claimed the MacAulays of Ullapool and Loch Broom are of Norse descent, due to a possible Norse origin of their surname, and the history and place-names of the lands they inhabited. The surname MacAulay, in the area of the Scottish Hebrides, is thought to be derived from the Gaelic Mac Amhlaoibh or Mac Amhlaidh, which are Gaelic patronymic forms of the Old Norse personal name Áleifr and Óláfr.[1] The small town of Ullapool on the eastern shores of Loch Broom, derives it's name from Olafr bólstaðr (translation from Old Norse: the homestead of Olaf).

The name Ullapool shows the Norse influence. Vikings from Scandinavia conquered and settled in the North & West coast of Scotland starting in late C8th. and lasting to the C10th. - 'Ullibolstade' - Ulla's steading.

From Wikipedia
The origin of the name "Ullswater" is uncertain. Some say it comes from the name of a Nordic chief 'Ulf' who ruled over the area[3]; however, there was a Saxon Lord of Greystoke called 'Ulphu's whose land bordered the lake. The lake may have been named Ulf's Water in honour of either of these or it may be named after the Norse god Ullr, also known as Ull.

Richard Warner
Who Were The Ulaid? (The Ully)
The most important of the northern Érainn were known as the Ulaid (pronounced Ully), from which the province got its name (Ulster from Uladhstir, a Norse rendering of the Irish Tír Ulad -'land of the Ulaid').

Celts and Normans by Geariod McGearaitt
In 6,000 B.C. 'Ireland' was covered in dense forests of pine and hazel,oak and elm. About this time the first people crossed over from Scandinavia to Britain and made their way across the narrow sea from Scotland to Ulster.

Return O Tha Exiles

In boats an ships they landed,
Oan an unforgien shore:
Tae till tha lan an break in grun
Lake ther faithers in days o yore.
These fowk wernae planters
Whin aff tha boats they filed
They were comin hame frae Scotland
Whur yinst they'd bin exiled.
But this tim these Dalriadic fowk
Wud naw bae driven oot again,
They were here tae stay in ther faithers lan
Regardless o famine, persecution ir pain.
