Caldwell, David, 2008, Islay: The Land of the Lordship (Edinburgh) [with much toponymic input from Alan Macniven; Macniven contributed Chapter 2 ‘Prehistory and Early History’; while Chapter 8, ‘Continuity and Change – Place-Names and Extents’ draws heavily on Macniven 2006 (‘The Norse in Islay: A Settlement Historical Case-Study for Medieval Scandinavian Activity in Western Maritime Scotland’, unpublished PhD Thesis, University of Edinburgh); Appendix 1 is a useful compilation and examination of Islay surnames; while Appendix 2, entitled ‘Islay Lands, Recorded Prior to 1722’ is also drawn from Macniven 2006, giving suggested etymologies, as well as sources, but sadly no early forms]
