Kintyre poet and historian Angus Martin's interest in placea'names
extends back over 40 years. This meticulously researched
exploration covers over 200 Gaelic place-name elements, plus many
others of Norse, Scots and English origin. Over 1200 individual
place-names are examined, from the well-known to the obscure and
forgotten. These names are drawn from a diverse range of sources,
from mid-19th century Ordnance Survey maps and field notebooks to
fishermen and shepherds whose store of names contained many known
only to themselves. As well as looking at the origin and meaning of
place-names, Martin also looks at their historical associations -
the events and families connected with them - to provide a full and
fascinating account which will illuminate the landscape of his
native Kintyre. This, then, is a book which will interest not only
students of place-names, but also archaeologists, local historians,
genealogists, naturalists, and anyone with a passion for Kintyre
and its colourful past.
