Place Names Of Scotland by James R Johnston

The study of place-names may be said to stand to history and ethnology in somewhat the same relation as the study of fossils stands to geology. Each group of fossils more or less represents a distinct age of geologic time; so, roughly speaking does each group of place-name represent a period of historic or pre-historic time. This book has a write up of each of the different types of names found in Scotland, followed by an A-Z listing of the places with details of their origins.

This book is from my recently purchased Gilmore Collection containing many superb books on Scottish History, Topography and Culture.
