This thoroughly researched, fully revised and expanded new
edition builds on the success of its predecessors and there is much new
to enjoy: wider coverage of the Borders, a chapter placing Scottish
hill names in international context, and older forms of many names drawn
from 17th- and 18th-century maps.
Drawn from Gaelic, Norse, Brittonic, Scots and Pictish
tongues, Scotland’s hill names carry over 500 years of social and
cultural history. For anyone heading for the hills, this book opens the
door to that fascinating world.
