Subject: RE: Folklore: Names of Farms
In the parish of Mauchline, South West Scotland we Have--Freenlessheid {Friendlesshead}. I often wonder what the originators got up to to justify this name.
In a neighbouring parish we find--Muggerslandburn--no, not the forerunners of some modern anti-social types but the makers of timberware to be sold at markets and fairs, having the equivalent in the parish of Tough, N.W.S.--Muggarthaugh.
