The word mark [] frequently occurs in the topography of Scotland, It is in general derived from the old Scotch Coin of that name as expressing the value of the ground. But the word is not always from this source, as I believe the name Culmark is Gaelic. Cuil signifies corner of maic, A horse, Linen Cuil, i.e. The horse's corner or rock |
