PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest.

But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

    SCOTTISH PLACE-NAMES AND THEIR SOURCES lseabail Macleod cotland has place-names from many different sources. Some, especially Sseveral river names, originate from so far back in the past that one can only speculate as to their origins; but most of them mirror the country's population over the last two millennia. The majority are from Gaelic or English/Scots, but other waves of inhabitants have also left their mark. Early inhabitants of southern Scotland spoke a language related to modem Welsh. The Picts in the north have left only a meagre linguistic trace. In some areas, notably in the Northern and Western Isles and along the adjoining seaboard, Scandinavian influences have left a strong legacy. At the time of the Roman invasions of Britain, most people in what is now southern Scotland spoke a Celtic language related to Welsh, variously known as Cumbric, Brittonic, Brythonic and British. Welsh and Gaelic are examples ofthe two divisions ofthe Celtic family of languages: P-Celtic and Q-Celtic, from the different initial sounds in certain words-as in the word for 'head': in Welsh pen, in Gaelic ceann; as in Scottish place-names Pencaitland and Penpont; and in Kintail, Kincraig, Kinlochbervie and Kinlochmoidart. P-Celtic at the present time consists of Welsh, the Breton of north-west France, and Cornish, recently revived after a long gap. Q-Celtic consists of Irish, Scottish and Manx Gaelic. The last native speaker of Manx died in 1974, but Manx, too, is enjoying a revival. The Picts, powerful north of the Firth of Forth in the middle of the first millennium, have left little trace of their language, but from the meagre evidence available, modem scholarship suggests that it was a P-Celtic language, akin to its neighbour Cumbric, possibly with other elements.
