Scottish Dog Names

Scottish Dog Names are particularly worth considering if your dog's breed originates from this part of the world, for example if you have a Westie, Cairn Terrier, Border Collie, Border Terrier or maybe a Deerhound. The names are earthy and natural, and seem to exude a certain confidence and strength.

These names take their inspiration from places, mountains, rivers as well as traditional Gaelic first names and surnames. The photos were all taken on various dog-friendly holidays in Scotland - if you hover the mouse over the photo you'll find out a bit more!
