Sc lime + Sc land
‘Land where lime is extracted’. This is almost certainly the land which was formerly known as Inchcalc #, which contains G calc ‘limestone’ (see above s.n.). Both were in Kinninmonthshire, and were closely associated with Ladeddie CER, SSL. It may even be a translation of the earlier G name. However, given the conspicuous feature to which it refers, and given the fact that it was probably being exploited for economic gain at an early date, it is equally possible that the Sc name arose independently of the Gaelic one. According to NSA ix, 521–2, limestone was still being wrought at Ladeddie in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Martine (1797, 177, 181), in discussing the lands of Kinninmonthshire, states that they included Lambies. This probably represents Limelands.
There is also Limelands in DNO, q.v.
