pn Lawtie/Latto  + Sc holl / howe

‘Lawtie’s hollow’. A Peter Lawtie (Lauta/Lawta) was at Cunnoquhie MML in the 1540s (St A. Rent. 153, 189, 218).[346] For various forms of the name Lawtie, see Black 1946, s.n. The 1569 entry, above, shows that Lattiesholl was kirkland belonging to Moonzie parish kirk.

    The NGR above is inferred from the description of the lands of Lattiesholl given in a charter of 1558 (confirmed 1566, RMS iv no. 1698), whereby Archibald Arnot, minister of Scotlandwell and of its convent, of the Order of the Holy Trinity of the Redemption of Captives (i.e. the Trinitarian Friars), feued to David Arnot of that ilk and his heirs the lands of Lattiesholl, ‘including their garbal teinds and other teinds and never hitherto alienated, between the lands of Moonzie, Colluthie MNZ and (Lords)Cairnie MNZ’ (decimis garbalibus et aliis decimis earundem inclusis hactenusque nunquam separatis, inter terras de Auchtermonsye, Culluthy et Cairny). A charter of 1652 in very much the same terms adds directional detail, situating Lattiesholl east and north of the lands of Moonzie, south of Colluthie and west of (Lords)Cairnie (1652 RMS x no. 40; see early forms, above). This would place it somewhere near West Myre MNZ, a situation further suggested by the element holl ‘hollow, depression’. It may also have been known as Holecairnie #, for which see Lordscairnie MNZ.
