Revd. [Reverend] J. Allan Manse Peterculter Mr. Smith. Registrar & Session Clerk Peterculter Mr. John Ingram Burnside, Peterculter New Statistical Account. |
085 | This name applies to a holy well situated near to the Old church of Drumoak, but in the parish of Peterculter. for farther description See Statistical Accounts The following extract is taken from the New Statistical Account "Dalmaik is compounded of the Gaelic word Dal, a haugh, or valley, and the name of the saint, contracted into Maik instead of Moak, as in the former case, hence the word Dalmaik signifies the valley of St. Moloch, a name which is very descriptive of that part of the parish where the ruins of the old church stand. And this description is supported by the circumstance, that, beside the old church (although within the boundary of the parish of Peterculter), there is a holy well, which is known by the name of St. Maik's Well. |
