North of the Wall we have the Ochil Hills in the counties of Perth and Stirling; an ancient Irish tract records that St. Serf's special seat was at Culross between Mount Ochel and the Firth of Forth.
To these may be added 'Banff with the fulling mill,' 1582, 1587 (RMS), part of the churchlands of Arbuthnot in Kincardineshire, now apparently obsolete.
Gylltalargyn, 1203/24 (RM), is now Cill Taraghlain, Kiltarlity, 'Talorgan's church'; initial g of the old spelling is due to the influence of the preposition in the phrase i gCill Talorgain, which would be in constant use.

In 1840 the majority of the world's deep sea trade was still carried in sailing ships.
Given three ships of this flexible character, and with an almost infinite number of holiday combinations possible, including air/sea patterns, Cunard is well set for full speed ahead.
