Gordon is not a scottish place name[edit]

Gordon and East Gordon, NSW are named after General James Willoughby Gordon, a colleague of Lachlan Macquarie, and not after a Scottish place.Eregli bob (talk) 17:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gordon certainly can be a Scottish place name (two places - Gordon District, and Gordon in the Borders at opposite ends of the country), but these two can easily be removed. Bear in mind I am going on extremely limited information in some cases. I don't know if the many "Morningside"s in Australia refer to the one in Scotland or not, for example. --MacRusgail (talk) 17:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perth Suburbs[edit]

Brigadoon - a fictional Scottish place. Cockburn - definitely sounds Scottish and is a scottish surname but named after a man who was English... does this count? I thought this page was "a list of placenames in Scotland which have subsequently been applied to parts of Australia". There are other places listed which are Scottish names but not actually places in Scotland as well (Burns Beach, Henderson, Murdoch). How important is the history of a place name in it's inclusion here? Port Kennedy is named after a person from Ireland. To complicate matters, Kennedy is a Scottish name and isn't really a place but there is a Castle Kennedy. Does a castle count as a place or is it just a building? Marmion is a Scottish poem, not a place. Jklsc (talk) 07:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
