The Village Idiot Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 What a cool place name - just had an order from this place - never heard of it up in Scotty land, but how good in Sean Conery type of voice to say 'Yus, I'm from a Port where you can knockie the fillingsout of a filly, it's called Portknockie'. Apparantely in it is Moray - I don't now Snots is it in the highlands or just a lowland excuse of a place in Scottyland? (MYLES - answer please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La vache espagnole Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Moray(shire) is proper Highlands all right 😬 . Portknockie is on the rugged (ackshually it's rocked... unless someone mistook the sheep for rugs... ) north-facing coast between Findhorn and Macduff. Scottingland's Celtic heritage has given it lots of cool placenames Ackshually the name Caterham is partly Celtic in origin ("Cater" from the ancient British word for seat or chair, a common hill name + ham from Old English for home(stead) or village) nothing...

GTD Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Shorely: "Cat" after a creature that is awkward and unco-operative, and frequently hurts your fingers "Er" from the Gaelic for "I don't know what's wrong with it, it worked before" "Ham" is related to the Old English for Homestead, but the derivation refers to those people no longer able to afford to leave the home. -----Warning - no Caterham content here No Eco town here please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Rae Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Load of great names in Scotland, in the South too. Twathats between Dumfries and Annan. And there are Twatts in both Orkney and Shetland.

The Village Idiot Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Six Mile Bottom Shouldn't that have been put in with the Jade Goody "would you like a some liver with those onions" thread 🤔 Is that the 'six mile bottom' where Morgan max their motors or as normal am I barking up the wrong tree (would be nice to see/hear the old Plus 8's and new Aero's flat out) Dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
