Download or read book The Place Names of Argyll Classic Reprint written by H. Cameron Gillies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place-Names of Argyll This seems to me a valuable book, and I am glad the London Argyllshire Association has encouraged the author in what must have been a really hard work. It must be Of interest to all branches Of the Celtic-speaking people, not only to all the Highlands and all Scotland as well as to Argyll, but to Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany, where the Old language is retained, if not always as a spoken tongue, yet always in their own Old names from the same or a kindred origin. It may be of interest to even those outside the Celtic circle to learn how much of true and important history lies dormant in the place-names Of a country. Argyll is exceptionally complex in its history and therefore very rich in its names, and I am not surprised that the author found many of them to be difficult to explain, and some even impossible. The several layers Of names left by succeeding races come out very clearly. There are the bottom names Of the pre-celtic race, variously named Iberian, Pictish, and otherwise. These must be difficult to explain, perhaps they never can be explained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Scottish Gaelic Place names written by Reverend Charles M. Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rev. Charles M. Robertson (1864-1927) was one of the greatest Scottish Gaelic scholars of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Today he is primarily known for his work on Scottish Gaelic dialects as published in various periodicals. What is less well known, however, is the vast amount of unpublished material which survives him on other subjects. For thirty-five years, Robertson travelled round the Highlands to places such as Perthshire, Arran, Argyle, Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Nairnshire, Sutherland, Wester Ross, Skye, Jura and Islay talking to native Gaelic speakers and recorded priceless information about Gaelic dialect, folklore and place-names. This book brings together for the first time Robertson's published and unpublished material on place-names: The first comprises both his published and previously unpublished articles about place-names. The second part comprises transcriptions of his unpublished place-name notebooks. These contain over eight thousand Gaelic name forms, with associated folklore and linguistic notes made by him. The book also has a full introduction which puts his work into context, as well as an exhaustive index." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Celtic Places’ are typified by some several hundred townships and villages whose names still bear the imprint of their earliest Celtic roots, but the scope of the book is not restricted to human settlements; it is also true of the many mountains and rivers that they named, and to several thousand sites of standing stone monuments, Celtic high crosses, henges, hill figures, funeral barrows and hillforts, which are all included in the book. What they all have in common is that they reflect the rich cultural heritage that was implicit in the names of places in the British Isles and Ireland as it existed before the Romans arrived.
