‘Pool, marshy place’; Middle English flasshe has the same meaning. See MacDonald 1941, 9, 21, 36, 58, 129 for discussion and examples in West Lothian. It occurs also in Flass FGN PNF 4, and possibly in Flisk KMB PNF 2.
The name survives on OS Pathf. only as Flesh Glen. The NGR is inferred from Stobie/South-East Perth (1827).
