[Notes Bothiebrigs] -- "Bothie or Boothie, - A cottage, often used to denote a place
where labouring servants are lodged." -- (Jamieson)
"Both, Bothag, Bothan, A cottage, Hut, Tent, or Booth" (Gaelic)
[Note Groundlessmires] -- Capt. [Captain] Courtney R.E. [Royal Engineers] will
please decide between
"Myre" and Mire". -- [initialled] B. R. -- "Mire - A bog" -- (Jamieson)
Though "Myre" is thus written by the authorities quoted, I believe it to be wrong and Mire to be correct, See
("Jamieson's" Scotch Dictionary), Johnson, Walker, & Clarke, also Psalm 69 - verse 14. -- ("Tam Skelpit on through dub and mire,
Despising wind, and rain, and fire;" -- (Burns's Tam O'Shanter)
