Kincardine, Sutherland
Kincardine () is a small hamlet in Sutherland, situated on the west end of the south shore of the Dornoch Firth. The village of Ardgay is less than 1 mile north west of Kincardine along the A836 coast road. Etymology. The name "Kincardine", as with other locations so-named, may be a Gaelic adaptation of a Pictish name. The second element is the Pictish "*carden", perhaps meaning "encampment" or "brake". The first element represent Gaelic "ceann" substituting an original Pictish "*pen", both meaning "end, head, top", giving an aboriginal form of "*Pencarden".
