  1. Local Place Names

    The names of the fields around my district are:-
    The "Back Hill". It was called that name because it is at the back of a hill. The Brae Face overlooks a small hill. The Schoolhouse Field. It got its name because there was a school in it. "The Four Acure" got its name because there are four acres in it. "The Mossy Field" got its name because it is very soft ground. "The Stoney Field". It is a small field full of stones. "The Meadow" I don't know why it got its name. "Smiley's Brae". There was a man called Smiley and he was killed on it.
