De-Anglicisation of Names

Slohairt, you are a gem.

So.... Urquhart. I've read in some sources it was of pictish origin, others Gaelic from Airchartdan, translated as "upon a rowan wood" but also as "the fort on the knoll." What say you?

Sort of. Urquhart is usually rendered in Scottish Gaelic as Urchardainn, which is really a 'Gaelicisation' of the Brythonic words air and cairdean. It is topographical and means 'at the woods'.
