Ramitinbawdeep Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I read somewhere that Auchinleck played Lugar for the right to use the name Boswell. Highhouse Rangers a team in Auchinleck named after the Highouse Pit played Lugar for the right to use the name Boswell, after James Boswell, and Lugar won. Then Talbot came about, named after Lord Talbot De Malahide who owned the ground and gifted it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Is Glasgow Perthshire named after some kind of society? Bang on. There were apparently a lot of these societies for people who moved to the cities from various parts of the country, I suppose most of them gradually faded away as the new arrivals integrated into their new surroundings after a while. There's still a shinty team on the go called Glasgow Mid Argyll as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I asked a local of Dalmellington about the name Craigmark Burntonians when we played them a few years ago. Craigmark and Burnton are both former miners rows just outside the town, and they formed a team between them. The only land they could play on was in Dalmellington, and when the pits closed the football team lived on, retaining the name and history of the former industry in the area. Rutherglen Glencairn are named after the house in Burnside where the club's founders met for their first meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man from Adamslie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Rutherglen Glencairn are named after the house in Burnside where the club's founders met for their first meeting. Rob Roy was founded in 1878 by a group of young men from the Eastside district of Kirkintilloch and was named after a by then defunct Perthshire Curling Club. Their colours are the colours of the Rob Roy McGregor Tartan - Red & Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it might have some connection with the old Glencairn Earldom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
