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.
Maybole can be seen in the middle of the map and was at
that time know as Minnyboll. Click on the map or here to view the image

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. |
