Lerags is the name of a place near Oban in Scotland, on the ancient pilgrimage route to Iona. There is a pre-Reformation cross there where people used to kneel on their way, and a very atmospheric ruined church with old gravestones. So the meaning "spirits" is quite appropriate. It's pronounced the same way as your word.
