[Note] -- It is evident that the tradition told in the Descriptive
Remarks respecting the origin of the name Barbauchlaw
is only a story invented in order to account for the name
it being unintelligible in the modern language of the
locality. It is plain that part of the name is Gaelic, i.e [that is]
Bar-Bauch, Bar, in Gaelic signifying Summit or hill
and "bauch", though at present rather unintelligible even
to a Gaelic scholar very likely meant the quality of
the thing, to which the Saxon people pleonastically added
their Saxon word "Law" which meant hill the same as
the Gaelic "Bar".- But the Stone no doubt may have
some connection with the boar chace of ancient
times. [initialled] J. C. [James Carpenter, Civilian Assistant] |
