William J. Watson (1865-1948) was one of the most important figures in the study of Scottish place-names and Gaelic historical linguistics and literature. Best known for Place-names of Ross and Cromarty (1904) and Celtic Place-names of Scotland (1926), his work laid the foundations for modern Scottish toponymic scholarship.

Further Scottish Place-Name Papers aims to bring together, for the first time, all of Watson's place-name material not already included in the above works or in the earlier volume Scottish Place-Name Papers (2002). The book includes previously unpublished articles from the Carmichael-Watson Collection, articles omitted from earlier collections, letters published in newspapers, extracts from the works of other authors incorporating Watson's views, material from his fieldwork notebooks, private correspondence, and other assorted pieces. An appendix seeks to identify as many as possible of Watson's informants.

Fully indexed and carefully contextualised, this book forms an essential companion to Scottish Place-Name Papers and an important resource for scholars of Scottish toponymy and Gaelic studies.

Dr Jacob King is Senior Researcher at Ainmean-�ite na h-Alba, the organisation responsible for providing authoritative forms of Gaelic place-names for use in media such as publications and bilingual signage. He is the author of a number of articles about place-names, as well as one of the authors of the NatureScot Gaelic in the Landscape series and is the editor of Scottish Gaelic Place-Names: The Collected Works of Charles M. Robertson (2019).
