@henrywgc.bsky.social @dgplacenames.bsky.social found a conversation I with @earlymedievalist.bsky.social 10 years ago talking about and how there wasn’t a lot of work done on it! But no source lol!

@henrywgc.bsky.social @dgplacenames.bsky.social not sure, it was either about the carved stone crosses at Lesmahagow or the one partial cross shaft found around Kirkmuirhill. Might have been in JSTOR.

@henrywgc.bsky.social desperately trying to find the paper, quote that said the carved early medieval stones of upper Clyde valley more closely resemble those of the Whithorn school than that of Strathclyde. All very interesting @dgplacenames.bsky.social

All my links in my obsidian files are now useless… 100s of links. It’s almost like they don’t want people to search this stuff. Like births & deaths certificates they’ll start charging us credits to view or download

This is why they need some sort of api

Today’s walk round the villages. But of a plod in this heat but worth it. #LAN #LEW

👏🏻👏🏻

Walk round the village this afternoon.

Enjoyed the videos and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing what you pick next.

I think for place names and the like it’ll make a huge difference not just the querying of the data but how it links.

What about a graph database like neoj4 or something along those rather than a standard rdbms?

Vertices and edges of Lesmahagow place names.

It’s does no bad with Latin charters as well

That’s a cracking commute in that weather

Needs open sourced and apis rather than what they are currently trying to do. Which makes no sense. Other than cutting hosting costs or downsizing teams that maintain it 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Ayrshire boy in me can’t not see, aichty (80)? The fact that the original medieval land grant if you follow the boundary, the parcel has an area of 81 acres.

Land divided and divided again.

1864 Auchtyfardle or Auchtiferdillis - Auch-ti'-fear-dileas - The field of the faithful-man.

Some very wishful thinking with it being a land grant from Kelso Abbey via the priory at Lesmahagow

Auchtyfardle - ScG ochdamh, an eighth + possibly the Older Scots ferdall/farthell, a fourth

I live in a comfortable world of SQL, Python, and now some R. I can do HTML & CSS if I have to, but usually let Bootstrap handle the heavy lifting and very much try to avoid Java or JS 😂

I found it very Pythonesque and I like how you can chain commands together

Just started using R on my Data Science degree course last Trimester. Even better more practice

Brilliant, I’ll get that watched and added to the Obsidian vault as well.

How does this work how did you measure it? I’m intrigued as I have a weird hybrid accent this days Ayrshire/Glasgow/Lanarkshire…

They rhyme for me 🙈😂

Interesting how thoughts and translations change.

1864 Kerlyngholm - Caithir/Caer Linne, fort of the linne or pool…

Probably more likely Scots Carlin(g) + holm - the old lady’s haugh / water meadow like the Scots Gaelic dal/dail

Wonder who the old lady was…

It’s in Lesmahagow parish, saw that too so I’m inclined to think it is Graystane. Just wanted an expert to run their eyes over it.

OPR 1768 photocopy

@michaelpearce.bsky.social would mind scanning your eyes of this terrible photocopy. OPR 1768. Thomas Buntin & Mary Sadler of Gray?? Something Graystone?

Would be great to see what she did for Luthen or after Yavin

She needs her own show

No need for apologies, was just asking had a quick look today but couldn’t see anything maybe we’ll get one when it’s out of beta. Would be a cool feature.
