Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Discusses five Celtic place-names in south-west Scotland, including: Abravannus meaning `very feeble one' and referring to Piltanton Burn, near Stranraer; a possible link between Locatrebe and Threave Island; and Cumnock, Irvine and Water of Milk, which seem respectively to mean `cutting (stream), hewing (stream)', `(river of) wild turnips', and `honey river, river where honey is found'.
