Talk:Kirkwall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to "The Concise Scots Dictionary" both "wa" and "waw" mean wall. However it seems more likely that the "waa" part of "Kirkwaa" was mistaken for "wa" than "waw".
I have removed the gaelic version of the name "Kirkwall" as I do not feel that it is appropriate here; the language has never been spoken on the islands. Robert Scarth 13:53, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
