Talk:Water of Leith

Etymology
I have added "citation needed" tags to the etymology. Where does this information come from? Personally I would have expected this to be pre-Celtic, but of course it could be Brythonic. I would be very surprised if it were Norse.

I have also deleted what seemed like a gratuitous bit of Gaelic-bashing. The "association" of the word with the Gaelic Lìte is not "erroneous"; that is in fact what Leith is called in Gaelic. Presumably the Gaelic form, like the English form, is borrowed from Brythonic, which in turn may or may not be borrowed from the substrat. --Doric Loon (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
