Excerpt from Place-Names of Scotland In his work of revision and addition the writer has received most valuable help in many ways. Of printed material he has found very useful the Inverness Gaelic Society's Proceedings, where the papers of Messrs Hector Maclean, Colin Livingstone, Mackay of Hereford, and others contain much that is helpful and suggestive, though often to be used with caution. The place-names of Strathbogie, by the late Mr James Macdonald, is a very thorough piece of work, which was issued just too late to be used in the first edition. Sir Herbert Maxwell's Scottish land-names, his Bhind lectures for 1894, is also a thorough piece of work, which somehow has not received the approbation which it deserves. The writer has to acknowledge very considerable help received through private correspondence with the Bhind Lecturer. The lists of old forms of names have been enriched and corrected from many sources, notably the Coldingham Charters, the oldest authentic Scottish charters we have; whilst several valuable early forms have been taken from the History of St Cuthbert, which, with the exception of Adamnan's Columbia, is just about the oldest Scottish writing we now possess.
