Additional Information
This specific name was created for the Rail-station here when it was opened in 1847. The previous name was ‘(Our) Lady’s Bog’, ‘Bank’ was only introduced as part of the station name, and there is no ‘bank’ here. Mòine as an element did exist here in the now lost name Mongrey (See Taylor and Markus). The name could be seen as obscure and therefore not to be translated.
