Talk:Mains (Scotland)

"Desmense" or "Demesne"?
I note the use of desmesne. It looks like another spelling of demesne. Laurel Bush 16:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC).

Perhaps mains is a Northumbrian/Scots (language) rendition of demesne? Laurel Bush 17:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC).

'Mains' is in common use in north Northumberland for farms, e.g. Norham East Mains, Norham West Mains, Woodbridge Mains etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximusmike (talk • contribs) 10:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
