We should make a list of the silliest colonial or otherwise exonymic placenames in Europe.

Catalan ‘Santanyí’ → Castilian ‘Santañy’
Scottish Gaelic ‘an t-Seanchair’ (or ‘An t-Seann Chathair’) → English ‘Sanquhar’
Gallo ‘Cornu’ → French ‘Corps-Nuds’

Have you got any others?

I think so!

This website has lots of gorgeous pics- and having knitted a pair, the tiny tight gauge is a wrist-killer, so I am eyeing up the lovely pattern you used as maybe a bit kinder to my hands!! :)

The forlorn ruins of Sanquhar Castle, on the southern edge of Sanquhar in Dumfries & Galloway. The castle was built by the Crichton family from around 1400 and abandoned in 1900 after partial restoration by the 3rd Marquess of Bute. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Awesome. Thank you. It's closest to what's called 'the Duke' which is usually referred to the Sanquhar pattern. Dates from around 1880s and named for the Duke of Buccleuch who was trying to support the local knitting industry. I'll have a look out for the book.
Good to know someone has saved them.

Cool. The geometric pattern looks a lot like a variant of Sanquhar Pattern (south West Scotland) Wonder if there is a common ancestry.
