Clancy, Thomas Owen [princ. invest.], Simon Taylor [co-invest.], and Gilbert Márkus [research ass.], Place-names of the Galloway Glens database, Online, 2018–present. URL: <https://kcb-placenames.glasgow.ac.uk>. 
abstract:

This resource allows you to search the Place-Names of the Galloway Glens database. This has been compiled for the project of the same name under the auspices of the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS and the database is in the process of being refined, augmented and corrected.

The database contains all the place-names in seven parishes in the upper part of the GGLP area: Balmaclellan, Balmaghie, Carsphairn, Crossmichael, Dalry, Kells and Parton. The bulk of the names are those harvested from the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6” maps made for Kirkcudbrightshire in the 1850s, and to these have been added many names from earlier sources. In many cases the name as represented on that map represents the only historical form we currently have in the database for the names. However, in many other cases we have supplemented these with historical forms of the place-names derived from a variety of other sources (maps, charters, etc.). You can browse the sources the historical forms are taken from in the Browse function. Historical forms are often important for revealing the original form of a name; but also the run of historical forms can sometimes act as something of a historical guide, e.g. to who owned a particular farm in the past.

Clancy, Thomas Owen [princip. inv.], Rachel Butter [res.], Gilbert Márkus [res.], and Matthew Barr, Saints in Scottish place-names, Online: University of Glasgow, 2014–present. URL: <http://saintsplaces.gla.ac.uk>. 
abstract:
The database that has been assembled presents the fruits of our research. It contains over 5000 places, 13,000 place-names, and some 750 saints potentially commemorated in these names. The backbone of the database are records drawn from the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition 6" maps, produced from 1843 to 1882. All names we could identify from these maps likely to commemorate saints, and many unlikely to but nonetheless worth considering, have been harvested for the database, and linked to the current map forms of the names, where they are still current. We harvested many other sources for earlier historical forms: earlier maps, monastic cartularies, the Register of the Great Seal, antiquarian accounts. This process of historical harvesting is not complete, but we aim to continue to augment the site through periodic harvesting and uploading of selected documents. We would be happy to hear from individuals willing to help us in filling out our historically recorded forms. At present, as well as information about the places recorded, and historical forms of names, we have identified where possible and applicable the saint or saints who may be commemorated in the place-names. We have been careful to indicate our level of confidence in these identifications. We have also excluded many of the names recorded here as not containing saints' names. Those which have been identified as having saints' names have an [S] symbol after them. There are also entries on individual saints and groups of saints. These records too are being augmented, and should become incrementally fuller over the next few months. One major analytical tool not yet available is the detailed analysis of each name, according to the meaning of its individual elements. This is work in progress.

Contributions to journals

Márkus, Gilbert, “Adomnán, two saints, and the paschal controversy”, The Innes Review 68 (2017): 1–18.  
abstract:
We have long understood from Bede's testimony that Adomnán, the ninth abbot of Iona, urged his monks to adopt the relatively new 19-year paschal cycle, but they – or many of them – remained faithful to the 84-year cycle which they had inherited. There are passages in Vita sancti Columbae which show Adomnán using stories about St Columba in an attempt to deal with this situation, first of all to reduce the harm done to the community by the disagreement, urging fraternal charity; and secondly, as argued here for the first time, by using contrasting stories about two other saints, Ernéne and Fintan, to persuade his monks that Columba had prophetically foreseen the dispute over the Easter date, and that he had ‘cast his vote’, so to speak, with the saint associated with the 19-year cycle.
