1864 Auchtyfardle or Auchtiferdillis - Auch-ti'-fear-dileas - The field of the faithful-man.

Some very wishful thinking with it being a land grant from Kelso Abbey via the priory at Lesmahagow

Auchtyfardle - ScG ochdamh, an eighth + possibly the Older Scots ferdall/farthell, a fourth

Interesting how thoughts and translations change.

1864 Kerlyngholm - Caithir/Caer Linne, fort of the linne or pool…

Probably more likely Scots Carlin(g) + holm - the old lady’s haugh / water meadow like the Scots Gaelic dal/dail

Wonder who the old lady was…

@michaelpearce.bsky.social would mind scanning your eyes of this terrible photocopy. OPR 1768. Thomas Buntin & Mary Sadler of Gray?? Something Graystone?

It does happen very often in the WoS but when it does, it’s brilliant. Coffee on the deck in the sun on Sunday morning. Life is just better.
