Scottish First Names by Julia Cresswell

A handy guide to first names with a distinctively Scottish origin or use. Scottish First Names is the ideal guide for prospective parents seeking a genuinely Scottish forename for their offspring. Concentrating solely on those names of a recognisably Gaelic or Celtic origin, and those with a strong tradition of use north of the border, this attractive little book gives the origins and meanings to over 250 names. Also included is a pronunciation guide and indicators of noteworthy holders of the names.

Julia Cresswell has researched and written extensively on first names for many years. Her books for HarperCollins include the bestselling Gem Babies’ Names and the Gem Irish First Names; she also revised the Pocket Reference First Names.
