Place Names Of West Aberdeenshire PDF Download

Excerpt from The Place Names of West Aberdeenshire Had my uncle himself written this Preface, he would have thanked many friends, and also many whom he did not personally know, for services rendered at all the stages of the work. I do not know all who helped him, nor the value he set on the work of each: but I feel that I may, on his behalf, offer to all warm thanks for assistance courteously and ungrudgingly given, often at the cost of much labour. I am certain, however, that I should fail in carrying out his wishes if I did not ac knowledge in special terms the great debt he owed to Professor Mackinnon. In all his studies in place-names, both before and after the beginning of this work, my uncle constantly consulted him he looked on him as the one always trustworthy authority on Scottish Place N ames: and I doubt if he would have under taken the present work at all, had it not been for his advice and encouragement.
