60 Pract NAMES. 
while two Mullochs and two Moyles in the extreme 5. and $.E. 
prove that the distribution of this epithet is wide and extensive. 
Craig is a pure, strong Highland epithet; its occurrence, 
therefore, very frequently among the wildest of our mountain 
landscapes is what one would naturally expect. In Carsphairn 
alone there are fourteen :—Craighorn, Craigfad, Craigdunool, 
Craigtarson, Craignane, Craig-en-colon, Craig Stewart, Craig- 
crocket, Craig-en-geary, Craig-en-rine, Craig-en-gillan, Craig- 
wallie, Craigwhan, and Craiglingal. Minnigaff makes a good 
show with twelve :—Craig-en-keelie, Craigjig, Craig o’ Bellew, 
Craig-en-kald, Craig-en-garroch, Craig-cheskie, Craig-tarson, Craig’ 
na-craddoch, Craignine, Craig-naw, Craiglee, Craighit. But Kells 
—not so northerly a district as the bulk of the two parishes above- 
named—possesses seventeen :—Craignelder, Craig-gairy, Craigrine, 
Craig-maharb, Craigknuckle, Craigmichael, Craiggubble, Craig- 
broch, Craigloft, Craigcrun, Craigdoon, Craigenlees, Craigenben, 
Craigen-altie, Craigen-ower, Craigenshinnie, Craigend, the last of 
these beine most probably corruptions of the Gaelic diminutive 
ereagan, “a little crag.” Dalry has Craigencorr, Craigbane, Craig- 
lour ; Girthon, Craigshinging, Craig Ronald, Craigherron, Craig- 
lowrie, Crairbrack, Craigtype; Balmaclellan, Craignaw, Craigbonny, 
Craig-a-learie, Craigengower ; Kirkmabreck Craigmule (possibly a 
variant of mul through moyle) and Craigenboy ; in Rerwick, Craig- 
raploch, Oraigrange, Craigrow, and the curious name Craigmullen ; 
in Balmaghie we find Craigelwhan, Craigcroft, and Craiganeltie ; 
in Urr, Craigley, Craigmath, Craigallan, and Craigenfinnie ; Borgue 
gives us two, the specific Craig and Craighar; Kirkcudbright has 
Craigens ; Kirkpatrick-Durham has Craigengillen and Craigelwhan ; 
Parton, Craigmore ; Colvend has Craigbrex, Craigen-ower, Craig- 
duff, Craigroan; in Skyeburn Bay, in Anwoth, is a rock named 
Craiggibboch, with a companion rock in Fleet Bay called Craig- 
nesket ; there is another Craignine in Twynholm, and another 
Craigmore in Lochrutton. Craig, Craigend, and Craigrocktall 
occur in the extreme 5.H., in Newabbey. 
The distribution of the Gaelic Anock is very much more 
general. It appears to radiate from Balmaclellan as a centre, 
where it occurs 13 times, in nearly all directions ; but while Kells 
has 12 Knocks, Carsphairn and Minnigaff have only 4 each; Bal- 
maghie has 7; Kirkmabreck, in the far west, has 9; Girthon, 
Parton, and Kirkpatrick-Durham 6 each; Dalry, Borgue, and
