Girvan F
Girvan (, "mouth of the River Girvan") is a burgh and harbour town in Carrick, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Girvan is situated on the east coast of the Firth of Clyde, with a population of about 6,450. It lies south of Ayr, and north of Stranraer, the main ferry port from Scotland to Northern Ireland. Deriving its name from the river which runs through the landscape the etymology of Girvan has possible Brythonic origins, related to the Welsh: ''Gearafon'' or ''Gwyrddafon'', "river flowing through the green flourishing place, from afon or avon, a river, and Gwyrdd, green, flourishing". Prehistory and archaeology The earliest evidence of human habitation in the Girvan area dates to the Mesolithic. Between 1996 and 1998, archaeological investigations were undertaken by GUARD archaeology (then part of the University of Glasgow) as part of an expansion of the William Grant & Sons distillery. This work discovered several burnt mounds that dated to the later third millennium/e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buckie Rovers F
Buckie () is a burgh town (defined as such in 1888) on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland. Historically in Banffshire, Buckie was the largest town in the county until the administrative area was abolished in 1975.

The name Buckie would not have originally identified a place immediately adjacent to the sea, so alternative etymological sources are ...

Easthouses Lily Miners Welfare F
Easthouses is a settlement in Midlothian, Scotland, lying to the east of Newtongrange and south of Dalkeith.
