[edit] Howe of the Mearns

Is this related to the Howe of the Mearns? bmearns.....(talk) 17:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes. The Howe o' the Mearns starts just south of the Mounth and takes up most of southern Kincardineshire. The Mearns is an alternative name for Kincardineshire and the English word for Howe is Hollow, ie Lowland. So an English translation of The Howe o' the Mearns might be The Lowlands of Kincardineshire. -- Derek Ross | Talk 20:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
