  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin Is a Farm at the Head of the Cleugh of Doon Above Carsluith
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin is a farm at the head of the Cleugh of Doon above Carsluith. There is a Daffin Tree marked on the 1st edition OS map at Killochy in Balmaclellan parish, and Daffin Hill in this location on current OS maps, across the Dee from Kenmure Castle; Castle Daffin is a hill in Parton parish and a house by Auchencairn. This is likely to be Gaelic *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’. Peighinn is ‘a penny’, but in place-names it refers to a unit of land, based on yield rather than area. It probably originated in the Gaelic-Norse context of Argyll and the southern Hebrides, and was introduced into the south-west by the Gall- Ghàidheil (see Ardwell above). It occurs in place-names in Galloway and, especially, Carrick as ‘Pin- ‘ as first element, ‘-fin’ with ‘softened ‘ph’ after a numeral or other pre-positioned adjective. Originally a pennyland was a relatively small division of a davoch (dabhach, see Cullendoch above), but in the south-west places whose names contain this element appear in mediaeval records as holdings of relatively substantial landowners, comprising good extents of pasture, meadow and woodland as well as the arable core, and yielding much higher taxes than the pennylands further north. Indeed, peighinn may have come to be used more generally in the region for a fairly substantial estate without implying a specific valuation. *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’ would, then, have been a large and productive landholding. However, a Scots origin is also possible, or if the origin was Gaelic, reinterpretation by Scots speakers is possible: daffin or daffen is a Scots word for ‘daffodil’, but as a verb, daffin(g) is ‘playing daft, larking about’.

  • North Ayrshire Council
    NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 17 March 2020 Cabinet Title: Roads, Structures and Street Lighting Maintenance Programme 2020/21 Purpose: To seek Cabinet approval of the proposed Roads, Structures and Street Lighting Maintenance Programme for 2020/21. Recommendation: That Cabinet (a) notes the approach taken to determining the asset maintenance programme for roads, structures and street lighting; (b) approves the maintenance programme for 2020/21, as detailed at Appendix 1a and 1b; and (c) notes that the programme will be issued to the Locality Planning Partnerships for information. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 North Ayrshire Council has a statutory obligation under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 to manage and maintain its public road network. The adopted road network within North Ayrshire has a total length of 1040km. The core roads assets are currently estimated at a value of approximately £1.7 billion. 1.2 The Council’s Roads Service has adopted an asset management approach to allocate available road, structures and street lighting maintenance funds to locations that will offer the best return on the investment. 1.3 The Roads Asset Management Plan (RAMP) and the roads assets maintenance strategy follows the recommendations contained within the ‘Well Maintained Highways Code of Practice’, ensuring that the Council’s statutory obligations as delegated Roads Authority are met. 1.4 In complying with the Code of Practice, an effective regime of inspection, assessment and condition recording is well established which assists in not only providing a road network for the future but one that promotes social inclusion and contributes to economic growth within the area.
