Logan?

This doesn't seem like a Scottish placename. Scottish surname maybe. Does that count? --Guinnog 05:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Having had a look, it seems there are quite a few that'll have to be trimmed if this is really "a list of placenames in Scotland which have subsequently been applied to other parts of the world by Scottish emigrants or explorers." --Guinnog 06:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Logan is a Scottish surname, derived from a placename. It comes from the Scottish Gaelic "lagan" which means a "hollow", which also gives rise to "Laggan". Most of the places with the name "Logan" are small, but there isPort Logan and also Logan in East Ayrshire. --MacRusgail 19:11, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The surname Logan is a territorial name, likely derived from the lands of Logan in present Ayrshire, Scotland.^[1] "

If you want further proof that Logan is a Scottish placename, see here. Logie, by the way, is a variant anglicisation. --MacRusgail 19:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's really interesting. Thank you. This should really be in the article, don't you think? --Guinnog 04:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A link can be put in, no probs. I have included a few placenames which contain Scottish surnames - where they are distinctively so, rather than shared with England and Ireland, e.g. Smith, Quayle. --MacRusgail 17:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC) p.s. I've already calved off the US section. I will probably do likewise with the Australian and Canadian sections, and possibly the NZ one in time.[reply]
