	Scottish Place Names - Harare, Zimbabwe
		Of course, some of the names are used in other parts of the British Isles as well, but at least 11 of them (6.0%) are unique to Scotland, or are readily identifiable with places in Scotland that are based on the same names.
		Knowe, meaning a small rounded hill, is widely used as a place name element in Scotland and northern England (knoll being the preferred form in central and southern England), which greatly increases the likelihood that the Harare suburb refers to a place in Scotland.
		Place name changes in and around Harare seem to have been restricted to one or two topographical features (e.g., Lake McIlwaine to the west of the city is now Lake Chivero), to street names in the city centre and, of course to the name of the city itself.
