Hello.

     A Mr. Roy Graham, of the list whence came the question of the origin
of "Quathside," wonders if the Carnwath that Sandy refers to is the one
in Lanarkshire. Mr. Graham finds its etymology in the Welsh "gwydd,"
citing a Prof. Watson whose work was published in 1926. If this Quathside
is in a former Brythonic speaking region of Scotland, would that be a
reasonable source for the element in question?
     As an aside to Sandy and Pat, Mr. Graham has spent several holidays
in Alnwick already. He's rather keen on the place.

Yours,
+Fr Andreas Richard Turner.
