Name

[edit]

Is it Briardene or Brierdene? Djmckee1 - Talk-Sign 19:20, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's Brierdene, thought Briardene is a common mis-spelling. (I used to live there). Walkerma (talk) 18:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Does Brierdene really exist? Brierdene Burn and Brierdene Farm both exist and are recorded by Ordnance Survey but OS does not show any area called Brierdene. Google Maps have a label Brierdene at the Brierdene Burn. Local businesses use the name, vis Brierdene Car Wash and The Brier Dene Public House. I have lived in a number of places where there was a common name for a place. Everyone knew what you were talking about but the name didn't appear on any map. When I returned twenty years later the name had fallen out of use. The lack of citations suggests that this is just an unofficial local name - possibly invented by developers when they built the houses.

I would like some evidence that the area exists. OrewaTel (talk) 22:56, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
