Review
'Nicolaisen's book is to be warmly welcomed. It sets new standards in presentation, but more important, it epitomises new thinking, and a new approach to place-names study in Scotland which is singularly refreshing.' - The Scotsman 'A long-felt need is supplied by Nicolaisen's Scottish Place Names, a detailed and comprehensive examination of its subject...' - J. D. McClure, Scottish Literary Journal
