The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and 'Auld Nanse Tinnock's' (the 'change-house' of Burns's poem 'The Holy Fair') were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con­ sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum.

Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow © Peter Drummond February 2014 2 Abstract This thesis examines a small but unfashionable area of Scotland, invisible to tourist guidebooks, heavily urbanised, and whose towns have won environmental ‘Carbuncle awards’ from the Scottish media. Yet it is deep in Gaelic and Scots place-names which reveal a landscape that past inhabitants perceived to be a green and relatively pleasant land, if perhaps not flowing with milk and honey. Part Three belies its numeration, in that it is the core of the study, examining in detail the place-names of eight (modern) parishes, listing old forms and attempting a sound etymology for each.

The competition had its origins in the revived medievalism of James Hogg and Walter Scott, which was linked to their view of society and to their Tory politics.

XIV BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SCOTTISH TOPOGRAPHY VOL. I March 1917 A CONTRIBUTION TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SCOTTISH TOPOGRAPHY BY THE LATE SIR ARTHUR MITCHELL, K.C.B. AND C. G. CASH, F.R.S.G.S. IN TWO VOLUMES VOL. I EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable for the Scottish History Society 1917 PREFACE I. The History of this List Sir Arthur Mitchell had at one time the intention of preparing a topographical bibliography of his native province of Moray, and to that end collected a consider- able amount of material. This was not published, owing, as I understood from him, to the death of the editor or proprietor of the local newspaper in which it was to have been printed. But Sir Arthur preserved all his jottings, and continued and extended the habit he had formed of making a note of books of a topographical character. He did not limit his jottings to Moray, but noted books dealing with Scotland in general or any part of it. His notes were made largely on the unused portions of notepaper tom off letters ; these were dropped as written into a succession of cardboard boxes, and they gradually accumulated into a quite serious quantity of ‘ scraps of paper ’—as we in those peaceful pre-war days were in the habit half- humorously of calling them. The Moray slips were, of course, more or less together, but the others were in no order at all, nor had they any semblance of uniformity of arrangement.
