Dear All, I've recently been working on mermaid landscape placenames in Britain: the English word, not Gaelic or Welsh equivalents. I'm including here my list. Would anyone have any others that I've missed? I have a master map and a long article that I'd be happy to send on if anyone is interested. Thanks, Simon ([log in to unmask])
PS This is the first time I've posted here. Hope I've respected your conventions.
