placename error
By 1394, Donnchadh, Earl of Lennox had presented him with control of the hospice of the poor at a place called "Poknade". No such place as Poknade ever existed in Scotland. It's meaningless, probably a machine-scanning error left unchecked. Pol on the other hand is a topographical prefix. "Polmadie" (pronounced "paw-ma-DEE" or more formally paul-ma-DEE) is the hospital/hospice referred to.It was a few miles from the core Lennox (Stewart) heartland. The name is attested in various surviving documents of the day. See also The institution itself disappeared centuries ago, but its general neighbourhood (on the south bank of the Clyde, city of Glasgow postcode area G42) inherited the name. The neighbourhood has an existing wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.187.163.3 (talk) 22:15, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
