Drumlanrig

Drumlanrig (Scottish Gaelic: Druim Lannraig) is a settlement in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, which is best known for nearby Drumlanrig Castle.

The earliest record for Drumlanrig is from 1384, spelled Drumlangryg.

It may represent Cumbric drum 'ridge' + -lanerc 'small area of cleared woodland'.

However, the first element may also be Gaelic druim 'ridge', either added to a Cumbric name or to Scots *lang-rigg 'long ridge'.
