Scottish Place Names Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Scots language is a world of wonderful, historic and evocative words, full of a rich variety that can fit any occasion. And where better to find this use of Scots than in the land itself.

In Scottish Place Names Maggie Scott of Scottish Language Dictionaries takes you around the country from Dumfries to Shetland to explain the meanings of the place names that make up today's Scotland.

Through a trip to Scotland's towns and cities, up and down the hills and mountains, along the rivers and lochs, through the forests and glens, all the way around the Scottish coast and back to the names of the streets where we live today, Scottish Place Names is a fascinating, entertaining and informative guide to Scots language and to Scotland.
