I've added the east lothian version of the story I learned to the folklore section beside the Well O Wearie.

I have cuthill as from Cuithail meaning "fold" in the first place name resource I looked up. Being a lowland name may mean it's saxon or brythonic in origin though. I'll look into it.


Why do you think it's the East Lothian ? That seems to be the nearest in that it did have a mill but there are still another three contenders ,West Lothian ,Kinross and Strathearn . I havn't considered the Sutherland examples .
Yes the scots has a different "woody" meaning from the gaelic "assembly place "
