Old Photograph Hamilton Street Polmadie Scotland

Old photograph of Hamilton Street in Polmadie, Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. Polmadie is situated south of the River Clyde, and adjacent to the Gorbals. Polmadie is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Poll Mac Dè. The bulk of the place names of the neighbourhoods of Glasgow were either coined by Gaelic speakers or adapted to Gaelic from Cumbric. Polmadie is an early Gaelic name, containing the Gaelic " poll " which usually means burn or stream in areas where Gaelic replaced Cumbric. From a late 12th century form, Polmacde, it is clear that the middle element is Gaelic mac, meaning son of. The third element could be either the personal name Daigh, or the Gaelic Dè, of God, referring to an early religious establishment beside the burn. A remarkable feature of this place name is how the original stress pattern has survived, even centuries after its meaning ceased to be understood by those using it locally. It is still pronounced " pawmaDEE ",with a half stress on " paw " and full stress on " dee ", exactly as it would have been stressed in Gaelic.
