Peesweep Pit marked on 6" Geological Survey map, Lanarkshire VII, 1874.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: A "peesweep" (or peeweep) is a Scottish dialectal name for the lapwing, a black-and-white moorland wading bird known for its distinctive, shrill cry. Also known as a peewit or teuchit.
As with all placenames derived from common plants or animals, there are several sites with similar names so do not confuse this site with any othe Peesweep Pit (i.e. Peesweep Pit, Dalry, Ayrshire).
