Bridgeton
Scotrail's programme of Gaelic education by station nameboard rolls
on. I assume there's no serious suggestion here that Bridgeton was ever known as Baile na Drochaid. This would be transliterated as
Balnadrochit and means 'town of the bridge'. The settlement was far
more likely established when the area was English/Scots speaking, but there are plenty of real Gaelic-based names around such as the next two stations along the line: Dalmarnock and Rutherglen.
