[edit] STD code
Yes, the STD code is definitely 01241; a code that it shares with Arbroath. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vehicle Registrations
I'm pretty certain vehicles registered in Carnoustie wouldn't be allocated a Glasgow number plate... Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit that out. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 14:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that does seem a bit odd. I would expect SP-ST for Dundee and Angus. In fact I remember seeing SP registrations in Arbroath just before I left but perhaps they were for cars bought in Dundee. We really need to get confirmation from the DVLA. -- Derek Ross | Talk 14:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- To edit it, take a look at Template:Infobox UK place/numberplate where you will see that Angus is listed as one of the counties managed from the Glasgow DVLA office. If it truly is that would explain things. If not, that list will need to be edited. -- Derek Ross | Talk 14:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gaelic origin of 'Carnoustie'
The name 'Carnoustie' has an uncertain etymology, and the hypothesis that it has a Gaelic origin is highly suspect. Given that there are two other possible etymologies, that Carnoustie is in a region that is historicaly non-Gaelic speaking, and that the event the Gaelic etymology supposes is thought to be fictional, mention of the possible Gaelic origin should be limited to discussion in the main article. Please edit that part of the article to correct it.Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
