Avon Lyon c. 1591 Pont map 17

“Perhaps the most singular thing to be remarked in this connection is that in the east of Perthshire if any term for river or water is used along with the proper name it is always Uisge and never Abhainn… even in the west of Perthshire abhainn is quite familiar in such cases. The river Lyon for example with us Uisge Lìobhunn, is in the west of the county commonly called Abhainn Lìobhunn.” Robertson
