This portable and entertaining 160-page paperback volume of Scottish Placenames. Discover the meaning and ancient language (Gaelic, Pictish, Cumbric, Old Norse or Old English) that gave names to beautiful Scottish towns and places. Over 500 placenames featured. Who wouldn't want to know, for instance, that "Guthrie" means "windy slope" in Gaelic, or that "Rona" means "rough, rocky island" in Old Norse. A great little book to thumb through with friends while sharing a pint or a dram, or to pack for your next visit to Scotland.
