Book excerpt: Excerpt from Influence of the Pre-Reformation Church on Scottish Place-Names In the following pages an attempt has been made to trace the influence of the pre-Reformation Church on Scottish place-names. This has been done in the light not only of philology but also of history and topography, and to some extent of ecclesiology and folk-lore. It is hoped that the examples given to illustrate the influence in question will be sufficient to show how far-reaching it was.
