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.

This eventful geology produced a variety of rocks and scenery that have been the building blocks of our communities and industry.

It is formed by the progressive biological and thermal degradation of vegetation, which is consolidated between other sedimentary rocks, notably seatearth, mudstone, siltstone and sandstone, to form coal seams (layers). These vary in thickness from a few centimetres up to rarely 3.5 m, although exceptionally thicker seams may also occur. Almost all onshore coal resources in Scotland occur in rocks of Carboniferous age (300 - 330 million years old) and the main strata containing coal seams at fairly regular intervals are referred to as 'Coal Measures'. The Clyde valley includes part of the Central Coalfield of Scotland and the Douglas Coalfield. The coal seams are mostly found in the Limestone Coal Formation, the overlying Upper Limestone Formation and the Lower and Middle Coal Measures. The Upper Coal Measures is essentially barren of coal. The Passage and Lawmuir formations have also been worked in the past. The majority of the INVERCLYDE, WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE, coals in the area are good quality and have low sulphur and ash contents. EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE, RENFREWSHIRE, SALSBURGH 1 1A The Central Coalfield forms a broad syncline, in parts of which lie unproductive Upper Coal Measures. Most of the Coal Measures lie on BARGEDDIE 1 SALSBURGH 2 the western limb of the syncline, which is a complex and faulted structure with many subsidiary structures such as the Salsburgh CRAIGHEAD Anticline in the south-west of coalfield and the gently dipping Lanarkshire basin in the south.
