Googling "Badenyon" is annoying, because you get over 1500 hits, but most are just to web sites that have put the whole gazeteer of Scotland into their headers. By slicing these out, I can get down to ~250 (on 01/05/2005) but who knows what gets missed... |
What does "Badenyon" mean?
the Scottish Parliament's Gaelic Placenames gazetteer gives
Badenyon (Aberdeen).
This appears to be "the copse of the bird", from Bad an EÃ?in , but is uncertain.
Music of Badenyon: John O'Badenyon
John O' Badenyon is a famous reel, attributed to the Reverend John Skinner (1721-1807) [see also the Burns Encyclopaedia entry on Skinner], much derivatised and reworked [even Franz Josef Haydn seems to have had a go in 1792!]: see Google for links to sheet music of the reel, and other information on it. Its been recorded by lots of people, both Breton fiddler-folkies and Haydn-completists. Those with a linguistic bent can go to HMV Japan for one recent release.
