Talk:Kirkintilloch

message: Errrr why was the link to Kirkie Mierda pulled? It's the top ranking site in Yahoo for the search term 'Kirkie'. It does get a lot of hits. I'm not even related to whoever it is that does it, but it's a very popular 'Kirkie' site. I think we should put it back in. --TheMadTim 01:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Having researched the Etymology of the the name Kirkintilloch I was very surprised to see the assertion that it had a Gaelic name. I have no idea where it came from, and moreover, as gaelic is extremely rare in Kirkintilloch (I bet there are more native Germans, chinese, Arabic speakers - indeed I've yet to meet anyone in Kirkintilloch who can speak Gaelic!) As far as I am aware there is no written evidence of Gaelic ever being spoken in this area, and therefore the likelihood of a Gaelic name is zero. So, I placed a "citation needed" quite a few months ago. There being no citation added, I'm of the opinion that this is just some modern made up gaelic phrase which no ligitimacy in an article like this. At the very best it may warrant a small inclusion just for the humour of having a gaelic name in the bulk of the article, but there is absolutely no justification for it being given the prominence someone gave it as the first information about Kirkintilloch.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.235.130 (talk) 22:01, August 28, 2007 (UTC) 
The Gaelic name makes perfect sense as it describes the place using a grammatically correct Gaelic phrase. I suspect that despite the attempt to destroy Gaelic through Scottish education legislation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (something that Arabic and Chinese havent been subjected to.), that Kirkintilloch has maintained Gaelic speakers from the nearby Lennox area and that its Gaelic history is far more important than its Chinese or Arabic ones.

replies: text: You needn't have looked further than the Scottish Gaelic article to figure out that Gaelic was ineed spoken in the area. So whatever research you did, I suggest you look harder next time before making claims like that again. Akerbeltz (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
