Hello Friends, We have just purchased a weekend retreat "cabin" in Highlands, North Carolina, USA, and are in search of a name for our cabin home and property. Would you be so kind as to fill us in on Scottish names that may be appropriate. The property is situated on about a three acre lake by the name of Sparkling Lake. Nearby is Buck Creek Road and Whiteside Mountain, reportadly one of the oldest mountains in the world. We are not familiar with the meaning of words such as Glen, Loch, Firth etc. and how they could apply to our home and property.

It is located in the Highlands Plateau of the Applachian Mountains in the State of North Carolina. It is the headwaters for the Cullasja River, named by the Cherokee Indians prior to 1785. Many Scottish Highland immigrants came through the area which is also famous for gem and gold mining. The surrounding countryside is mountaineous and filled with lakes, rivers, streams, hardwood trees which lend spectacular color in the Fall of the year, Rhodedendrum plants, Mountain Laurel, ferns, evergreens and Hemlocks abound. There are also many waterfalls, hiking trails and mountain vistas that abound in the natural splendor of the area.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us find a name for our second home. With many thanks to all, William & Brenda, in Highlands, NC
