Talk - Place names of the Black Isle Sheila Currie Cromarty History Society
16 January 2024, Starts: 19:30
Tuesday 16 January 7.30 Victoria Hall Cromarty
As we go about the Black Isle, do we ever wonder where our place-names come from and what they mean? This talk will take the form of a tour around the Black Isle, stopping to peer at some of the road signs we pass by without a thought; teasing out what these place-names can tell us about the histories of the people who have lived here since these names were first written down. What do the names we give tell us about what was important to the people at that time? Which languages did they speak and how did the languages change? How did that change the place-names over time?
