Book Description
The rich traditions of the Picts and later Celt peoples in Scotland have given us some beautiful and evocative names. This gift book lists the most popular names for both boys and girls, giving their derivations, pronunciations, meanings and the legends associated with historical and mythical namesakes. The final section of the book includes the names of past Scottish monarchs for further inspiration. Names, from the ever-popular Stuart, Tam and Shona to the more unusual Mungo and Ailsa, are accompanied by specially commissioned illustrations.
