Description
The place-names of Scotland are a goldmine of information about the past and the lives of early inhabitants. The different languages of their origin - Gaelic, Pictish, Cumbric, Old Norse and Old English - reflect the many cultures that have been part of Scotland's story. Others date back even further, and are the only link to a world now lost to us forever. This book features more than 500 place-names and is an essential resource for anyone interested in Scottish history and culture.
