| Hi there ! Place Name study is not an exact science and variations of the same word exists around the country, but I would assume that Knowe is a variation of knoll. Derived from the Old English "cnoll" basically it is a discriptive word for the summit of a hill, or a smaller hillock on the top of another hill. The first element "Tulloch" sound like a personal name, and could indicate a settlement of a person called Tulloch. So Tulloch Knowe 'MAY' mean Tulloch settlement on the summit of the hill. Hope this helps RIV Reply | with quote |  27th February 2004ce 07:51 In reply to: What is it ?? (Goldie) |
