Mr Cooper of Failford 022 ; 027 ; 028 ; 033 ; 034 "Torbolton or Tarbolton, also in charters written Thorbolton, the name both of the parish & village, appears descriptive of the situation of the village, & of the use to which the beautiful round hill close to which the village is built,was anciently applied. Tor means a round hill, on which Thor was worshipped. It has also a more general signification, and denotes any round hill, as is ordinarily the import of the word when applied to places in Britain. Thor or Tor of the Goths is the same God, whose name receives a different pronunciation from the Celts, forms the first syllable of the names of many celebrated persons and places, as Tarquin, Tar-entum, Tar-tary, Tor, or more correctly Thor, is the Saxon, Tar, the Celtic pronunciation of a word descriptive of the most remarkable and beautiful object in the neighbourhood, the hill, mentioned by Burns in his Poem of Dr. [Doctor] Thornbook - 'I had gaen round about the hill.'

OS1/3/62/2 TARBOLTON (Parish) Tarbolton 022 ; 027 ; 028 ; 033 ; 034 [Continued] observed observed, in honour of this eastern gods are annually performed on the hill. On the evening preceding the Torbolton June Fair, a piece of fuel is demanded at each house. & is invariably given even by the poorest inhabitant. The fuel, so collected is carried to a particular part of the hill, where, there is an altar or circular fire-place of turf about three feet in height & is placed upon the altar. A huge bone fire is kindled & many of the the inhabitants, old & young, men & women, assemble on the hill & remain for hours, apparently chiefly occupied by observing a feat performed by the youths, who are to be seen leaping with indefatigable zeal upon the altar of turf wall, inclosing the ashes of former fires & supporting the present one. It appears from Sacred Scripture that the worship of Baal consisted in part of leaping upon his altar. 'And they leaped upon the altar which was made.' ** So that Tor or Tar, or Thor -Bol-ton or town, is the town at Baal's hill, i.e. the town at the hill where Baal was worshipped. ** In 1673 the parishes of Barnwell was suppressed, and a large portion of it was annexed to the parish of Torbolton. Hence it is that lands of Failford and the properties of Law & Brownhill, Contiguous to the monastery, all of them in Torbolton parish, are described in retours as in the parish of Barnwell."
