Subject: "Place names"
Dear List,
The following query came from a lady on another list, and she asks
if our Scots contingent might be of some help. I confess to having
volunteered the lot of you.
"I am looking for the meaning of the word 'quathside' (or perhaps
even just
"quath"). "Quathside" was the name of a house/farm in Scotland and I
would
like to know if it has any particular meaning. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Eleanor B.
Alberta Canada"
I do hope that there is some help you can give. I assured her that
you were the acknowledged experts.
Petzcha Tuva!
