Howe of the Mearns[edit]

Is this related to the Howe of the Mearns? bmearns.....(talk) 17:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The Howe o' the Mearns starts just south of the Mounth and takes up most of southern Kincardineshire. The Mearns is an alternative name for Kincardineshire and the English word for Howe is Hollow, ie Lowland. So an English translation of The Howe o' the Mearns might be The Lowlands of Kincardineshire. -- Derek Ross | Talk 20:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kincardineshire is old kingdom of Circinn[edit]

The second life (Vita Secunda) of St Patrick say: "Post parvum intervallum defunctus est Palladius in campo Girgin, in local qui dicitur Forddun ..."

The Irish version of Historia Brittonum says "Ro h-indarbad Pledius a h-Eirinn, & tanig co ra fogain do Dia i Fordun is in Mairne."

These two entries equate the plain of Circinn with Mearns, i.e., Kincardineshire.
