I look out over a house/area called Barnkittock that at one time was a sepatate township famous for weaving tartan. Its name is an Anglicisation of Baile na Ciotag - the place of the plaids.
In America, and particularly Southern California (where I live now) we have the most contrived names for housing developments, streets etc. But The Place of The Plaids, I really like that. I can just see the ads: " Barnkittock, an exclusive community of Kilt Wearers add a little tartan to your life."
