Did you know that Glenelg is the only Scottish town whose name is a palindrome? England can boast at least three – Eye in Suffolk , Hannah in Lincolnshire , and Notton in Yorkshire . The name Glenelg is thought to mean Glen of Ireland, linking it with the Irish who settled in Lochalsh – as many centuries later their descendants would borrow the name for their new homes in the USA (Maryland), Canada (Nova Scotia), and Australia (Victoria and Western Australia), all of which have Glenelgs.
