This is a fascinating book about the origin, the meaning and the
pronunciation of the names of Scotland's hills. This book explains
the origin and the meaning of the names of Scotland's hills, as
well as how to pronounce them. It also brings together many of the
legends and stories behind particular hill names. This is a
thoroughly researched, completely revised and expanded second
edition which builds on the success of its predecessor - "Scottish
Hill and Mountain Names". Many new names are detailed, including a
significant increase in the coverage of Borders hill names and old
forms of many hill names from 17th and 18th century maps brought to
bear in explanations. The hills of Scotland are a significant part
of the landscape and the names of these hills reflect the rich
social and cultural history of Scotland over the past 500 years and
all who have been there. These names are a legacy of the past and
this book opens the door to this fascinating world.
