Fullartoun, Fulltoun, Gififan, Gill, Girvan, Glen, Greenlees, Green- 

 hill, &c. Wigton has contributed from names of places the sur- 

 names of Logan, Clugston, and Sorbie. 



There are many other names of places to be found in the 

 counties of Scotland on the North Channel, and even considerably 

 toward the interior, which have furnished surnames. Aud even 

 places more remote, such as Fife and Coupar, Eccles (in Ber- 

 wick), Blair (as in Blair- Athol, Blairgowrie, Ard-Blair, &c), Suther- 

 land (in the north), &c. I have time to refer to a few only: — 

 Ayrshire, &c. : Underwood, Uchiltree, Kirkwood, Allardice, 

 Blackadder, Barnet, Carmichael (not as Mr. O'Donovan says, 

 from Cara, friend of Michael), Kyle, Lamberton, Lilburn, Lynd- 

 say, Meak, Munfode, Muir, Parkhill, Sands, Snodgrass, Stanelea, 

 Symington, Thorn, Thorndyke, Thornton, Ward, Wardlaw, Water- 

 land, Wellwood, Woodsyde, Reside, Gourlay, Dunseath, Hume, 

 Hannay, Cokburne, Reidpath, Maitland, Ballyntine, Colquhoun, 

 Dreghom, Drummond, Lennox, Lyttle, Sempill, Peebles, Dar- 

 roch, Glenny. 



The names of people in the same counties formed in other 

 ways, appear in the Rotulo Scotice as very like a list of the inhabi- 

 tants of Antrim and Down. There are Boyds, Fergusons, Hun- 

 ters, Kennedys, of which this part of Scotland was one time so 

 full as to give rise to this rhyme— 



'Twixt Wigtown and the town of Ayr, 

 And laigh down by the cruves of Cree, 



Ye shall not get a lodging there 

 Except ye court a Kennedy. 



There are also Chalmers, Forresters (Fosters), Grahams, Hamil- 

 tons, Hays, Inglis, M'Crea, M'Gill, McKie, Stewart, Neilson, 

 Weir, Young, M'Calmont, M'Grane, Alexanders, Baxters, Browns. 



The great abundance of Scotch names in this county is some- 

 what astonishing, when we consider that there was no regular 

 plantation, as in the other parts of Ulster which had been 

 escheated by the Crown. Any plantation carried out in this 

 county was that made in the barony of Upper Massareene and
