“Carraig is an Irish and Scottish Gaelic word for Carrick which means “rock,” “cliff,” or “boulder” but also refers to a historic district and geographic region in the South West of Scotland. It is the southernmost of the three traditional districts of Ayrshire (alongside Cunningham and Kyle), bounded by the River Doon to the north and the Galloway Hills to the south.”
