Dreich is a Scots word for dull and cloudy and rainy weather. Brae is the Scots word for hill or slope. The route is called from a family named Porter having resided here for many generations. Porter is an English and Scottish: occupational surname name for the gatekeeper of a walled town or city or the doorkeeper of a great house castle or monastery from Middle English and Older Scots porter for a doorkeeper or gatekeeper. The job often came with accommodation lands and other privileges for the bearer and in some cases was hereditary especially in the case of a royal castle. The name has been established in Ireland since the 13th century. In North America this surname has absorbed cognates and equivalents in other languages for example German Pförtner. and Poertner. The occupational name was also for a man who carried loads for a living especially one who used his own muscle power rather than a beast of burden or a wheeled vehicle.
