‘Tenant farm (or rent paid for such) of Cordie?’ Cordie is not a personal name in Black 1946. It may be an abbreviated or hypocoristic form of Cordner, a surname (derived from cordner or cordwainer ‘shoe-maker’). Roy (1753) shows Cordylone north-west of Largoward KCQ, which must contain the same specific. The name on OS Pathf. is that of an area in the north of Largoward. However, the 1855 and 1969 maps show it as a more precisely located settlement at NO462072, some 500 m south-west of the OS Pathf. location.
The element mailing occurs in a handful of Fife place-names (see s.v. Elements Glossary, PNF 5), including one on the lands of Elie, Peterismeling 1643 RMS ix no. 1470.
