‘Dugald’s farm’. Dugald or Dougal is first recorded as a personal name in Ireland in 912 as Dubgall, and as a common noun means ‘dark stranger’, referring to the Danes (Macbain 1911, 399). Dufgal son of Mocche was a prominent member of Fothrif society in the 1120s (St A. Lib. 117–18).
It is closely associated with the lands near Boarhills. There is a field on the farm of Stonywynd SSL called MacDougal, which may well derive from this name. The field is centred at NO571147.[257]
