Bothwell (continued)
every good cottage bears some vanity name, which, if all were written, would render the Plan a mass of confusion. An instance of this may be seen from the house adjoining the Post Office, on the west side being named by the Pr. " Sebastopol Cottage" & the one on the opposite side "Bothwell Hall" ; again in "Green Street" there is a new house called "Springbank",& many others too numerous to describe are scattered throughout the entire village, even in the old part between the Post Office and the Ph. Church. These names, even if there were room to write them, would serve no purpose, as in all probability the whole of them will be changed for something more pleasing in the course of a year. In short, the whole of the names not written are known only to the occupiers. Care has been taken to affix no name that is not proper well known or likely to become so. Gas has recently been introduced to the village by a work near "Uddingston".
