Hurlmachan 1850s OS Name Book 22, 30
This name is completely obscure. It does not seem to be very old, as the place appears as MountHooly on Ainslie/Fife (1775) and Mounthooly on Ainslie/East Fife (1827). This is a relatively frequently occurring minor place-name in the Scottish lowlands and northern England meaning ‘mount or climb carefully’, a humorous name for a steep brae (Sc huilie ‘slowly, gently, cautiously’).
It is marked but not named on SGF (1828).
This place-name appeared in printed volume 3
