Excerpt from Celtic Place-Names in Aberdeenshire: With a Vocabulary of Gaelic Words, Not in Dictionaries, the Meaning and Etymology of the Gaelic Names of Places in Aberdeenshire There are many stone circles round graves in Aberdeen shire without traces of metal tools, and there is none on the great sepulchral circles at Stonehenge. Hence we may infer that these circles were set up before 2000 when the use Of metal tools began in Britain. The first inhabitants Of the British Isles were called Celts by the Greeks, and we give the name Celtic to the language which they spoke. In process of time the language had broken up into six or seven dialects, differing in the pronunciation and the use Of words. Three of these, called the Gaelic group - spoken in England, Scotland, and Ireland - closely resembled one another. The Celtic language is still spoken in some parts Of Scotland. Though it is always called Gaelic the ancient languages of England and Ireland had an equal right to the name. The names of places in the three countries had been given before the language of the Gaelic group began to break up, and I have used Gaelic to denote the ancient language of Great Britain and Ireland.

Excerpt from Irish Local Names Explained I Have condensed into this little volume a considerable part of the local etymologies contained in "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places." I have generally selected those names that are best known through the country, and I have thought it better to arrange them in alphabetical order. The book has been written in the hope that it may prove useful, and perhaps not uninteresting, to those who are anxious for information on the subject, but who have not the opportunity of perusing the larger volume. Soon after the appearance of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places," I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topography, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities. I take this opportunity of soliciting further information from those who are able to give it, and who are anxious to assist in the advancement of Irish literature.

Excerpt from Celtic Dialects: Gaelic, Brythonic, Pictish, and Some Stirlingshire Place-Names; Paper Read Before the Gaelic Society of Stirling, March 31st, 1903 I would take exception to a few of his derivations of the place-names of Stirlingshire. He invites, as I said, criticism and diversity of opinion, in recogni tion, I suppose, of the saying that two heads are better than one, and if my alternative meanings for a tew of the place-names do not seem final, united conclusions may enable a third party to see the solution we fail to find.

"Rev. Charles M. Robertson (1864-1927) was one of the greatest Scottish Gaelic scholars of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Today he is primarily known for his work on Scottish Gaelic dialects as published in various periodicals. What is less well known, however, is the vast amount of unpublished material which survives him on other subjects. For thirty-five years, Robertson travelled round the Highlands to places such as Perthshire, Arran, Argyle, Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Nairnshire, Sutherland, Wester Ross, Skye, Jura and Islay talking to native Gaelic speakers and recorded priceless information about Gaelic dialect, folklore and place-names. This book brings together for the first time Robertson's published and unpublished material on place-names: The first comprises both his published and previously unpublished articles about place-names. The second part comprises transcriptions of his unpublished place-name notebooks. These contain over eight thousand Gaelic name forms, with associated folklore and linguistic notes made by him. The book also has a full introduction which puts his work into context, as well as an exhaustive index." --

‘Celtic Places’ are typified by some several hundred townships and villages whose names still bear the imprint of their earliest Celtic roots, but the scope of the book is not restricted to human settlements; it is also true of the many mountains and rivers that they named, and to several thousand sites of standing stone monuments, Celtic high crosses, henges, hill figures, funeral barrows and hillforts, which are all included in the book. What they all have in common is that they reflect the rich cultural heritage that was implicit in the names of places in the British Isles and Ireland as it existed before the Romans arrived.
