RĂąm
RĂąm (a Scottish Gaelic name which is often anglicised to Rum) is one of the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides, administratively part of Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. For several decades the name was spelt Rhum, which was coined in the 1900s by the former owner, Sir George Bullough, because he did not relish the idea of having the title Laird of Rum.
