The map on the right is one of the first published maps of this part of Scotland. It is based primarily on the work of Timothy Pont. Timothy Pont, a minister, was the pioneer Scottish cartographer. From 1583 on, he surveyed the whole of the Scottish mainland and islands, apparently by himself.

Place Names of Carrick  by Catherine Lucy Czerkawska
Place names are like little gems, dotted about the landscape. They have  complicated interiors, and sometimes turbulent and stressful histories. They are always descriptive and usually accurate but only if you can figure them out. They are like a host of little puzzles.  They reflect the history of an area; and looked at in conjunction with one another they paint a picture as surely as any contemporary account. And you make arbitrary changes to them at your peril.
