[Below entry for Dun Sheock:]
"Dun - a hillock - Seoc - a plume" - (G) [Gaelic]
The Gaelic pronunciation of the word Seoic, is so nearly
alike the Anglicised word Sheock that substituting the former
for the latter will not alter the pronunciation of the name and as
the first word of the name is Gaelic- The word Sheock ought also
be spelled correctly.
Dun is now Scotch. is anything
Dunblane - Dunstable - Dunkirk etc etc etc
