Bho Pheairt Gu Hiort

By Iain Taylor

This is a Gaelic deep-dive into place-names. It explains all the most common elements that appear in place-names accross Scotland: words like “ach”, “baile”, “cill” and many more. By the end of the book, readers will be able to piece together the meaning behind place-names just from understanding a few key words.

This book is a companion for anyone with an interest in place-names. Dr Iain Taylor has previously published a book on Gaelic place-names, but this is the first book of his aimed at those with Gaelic, from learners to fluent speakers alike.

Thathar a’ toirt sùil air na h-eileamaidean no na facail a nochdas ann an ainmean-àite Gàidhlig, agus cuid dhiubh nach eil cho cumanta ann an còmhradh tuilleadh, mar dobhar, gasg is sàilean, agus bheirear sùil air eileamaidean cumanta ann an ainmean à cànanan eile a leithid na Lochlannais is na Breatannais. Tha caibideil ann mu ainm-eòlas anns an fharsaingeachd agus eachdraidh ainmean-àite na h-Alba. Aig an deireadh tha liosta a rèir na h-aibideil de na h-ainmean uile a tha a’ nochdadh san leabhar.

Ma tha ùidh agaibh ann an ainmean-àite ach ceist oirbh mu na tha corra ainm a’ ciallachadh, seo an leabhar dhuibhse.
