Excerpt from Place Names in Strathbogie: With Notes, Historical, Antiquarian, and Descriptive These notes on the Place Names and Archælogy of Strathbogie originally appeared in the 'Proceedings of the Huntly Field Club, ' and have now been revised, and for the most part re-written. No attempt has been made previously to interpret the names of the district, except to a very limited extent, and I have therefore not had the advantage of following others in the same field. In the present state of our knowledge, I do not think that any single person, working within a limited district, can do work of this kind which can be accepted as final, and these notes I give simply as 'studies, ' open to revision when the whole subject of the Place Names of Scotland is taken in hand by some competent authority. I have discussed, or noted, all the names of interest found in the district, or given in maps, books, or manuscripts, or remembered by the old people, and they may be classed as follows - (1) Those of which I know absolutely nothing, and can offer no suggestion as to the origin or meaning. (2) Names which are obscure, or intelligible only in part, or which may allow of a double interpretation.
