Scottish Place-Name News No. 31
No. 31 Autumn 2011 The Newsletter of the SCOTTISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY COMANN AINMEAN-ÀITE NA H-ALBA Sun and showers in an eastward view from Ben Wyvis. Dingwall, venue for the SPNS‟s Autumn conference, is at the head of the Cromarty Firth, the sunlit water in the distance. The complex history of place-naming in this area is epitomised by the names for Dingwall itself. This is from Old Norse Þingvöllr, „assembly field‟, testifying to its importance under Norse rule. The Gaelic Inbhir Pheofharain is formed of the usual Gaelic word for a river mouth and a P-Celtic stream name (cf. Welsh pefr, „radiant, beautiful‟), also found at several other places in eastern Scotland as far south as the Peffer Burns and Peffermill in Lothian, as well as Peover in Cheshire. Those attending the conference may learn of the story behind an unofficial Gaelic name, Baile Chàil, „cabbage town‟.

The Ayrshire Directory
BOUND BY C. FRAMEI F 1 GLASGOW HB.Ui.<^.o.

That the want' of an " AYRSHmE Directory " lias long been felt in Law-Courts, Banks, Public Oinces among Factors, Professional Gentlemen, xlgents, Inn- keepers, Mercbants, and Dealers througbout the County—as well as by Strangers, and Professional and Mercantile Houses in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, and other Cities having intercourse with Ayr- shire, has been already fully proved by the numerous Subscribers to this Publication. Its compilation has been attended with much more labour and expense than those unacquainted with its details might suppose—the Lists for the Forty- six Parishes having been prepared, and at a later date revised, in each Parish. The Parishes are arranged alphabetically. PREFACE. The diiSculties attending a first attempt at present- ing so very full a List of the Inhabitants of a whole County, are pleaded in excuse of any inaccuracies that may be discovered. The indication of the Voters, though attempted care- fully, had better, perhaps, in the present edition have been omitted, as the Official Registers from which they are taken have never since the passing of the Reform Bill been purged of " dead," and "absent"; while at the date when consulted, this year's Electors had not been added. Prefixed to the Directory are Fifty-eight pages of County Statistics, Interest Tables, and other informa- tion valuable for reference; and Seventy pages of Advertisements are annexed. -
