The distribution of the words in question has long been an instrument of criticism in determining both the ethnological position of the Pict nation, and its territorial extent; and the details are well given in the following table of Mr. Kemble's: "If we now take a good map of England and Wales and Scotland, we shall find the following data:-- "In Wales: "Aber-ayon, lat. 51° 37′ N., long. 3° 46′ W. Aber-afon, lat. 51° 37′ N. Abergavenny, lat. 51° 49′ N., long. 3° 0′ W. Abergwilli, lat. 51° 51′ N., long. 4° 16′ W. Aberystwith, lat. 52° 24′ N., long. 4° 6′ W. Aberfraw, lat. 53° 12′ N., long. 4° 30′ W. Abergee, lat. 53° 17′ N., long. 3° 17′ W. "In Scotland: "Aberlady, lat. 56° 1′ N., long. 2° 52′ W. Aberdour, lat. 56° 4′ N., long. 3° 16′ W. Aberfoil, lat. 56° 11′ N., long. 4° 24′ W. Abernethy, lat. 56° 20′ N., long. 3° 20′ W. Aberbrothic, lat. 56° 33′ N., long. 2° 35′ W. Aberfeldy, lat. 56° 37′ N., long. 3° 55′ W.

Aberdour, lat. 57° 40′ N., long. 2° 16′ W. Inverkeithing, lat. 56° 2′ N., long. 3° 36′ W. Inverary, lat. 56° 15′ N., long. 5° 5′ W. Inverarity, lat. 56° 36′ N., long. 2° 54′ W.

Inver, lat. 58° 10′ N., long. 5° 10′ W. "The line of separation then between the Welsh or Pictish, and the Scotch or Irish, Kelts, if measured by the occurrence of these names, would run obliquely from S.W. to N.E., straight up Loch Fyne, following nearly the boundary between Perthshire and Argyle, trending to the N.E. along the present boundary between Perth and Inverness, Aberdeen and Inverness, Banf and Elgin, till about the mouth of the river Spey. The boundary between the Picts and English may have been much less settled, but it probably ran from Dumbarton, along the upper edge of Renfrewshire, Lanark and Linlithgow till about Abercorn, that is along the line of the Clyde to the Frith of Forth."[8] It cannot be denied that, in the present state of our knowledge, the inference from the preceding table is that, whether Pict or not, more than two-thirds of Scotland exhibit signs of _British_ rather than _Gaelic_ occupancy.
