Etymology
The name Dornock is either from Cumbric durn + -ǭg or Gaelic dòrnach, meaning 'place of handstones (fist-sized stones)', i.e. stones used as projectiles, or perhaps as cobbles.[1] Watson suggests that the [k] in the current pronunciation may imply a Cumbric rather than Gaelic origin.[2]
History
It is famous for the Battle of Dornock during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
