A. M. THE PARISH OF CAELUKE. 395 NAME. Eglismalesoch, Eglismalescok, Carneluk, Carluik, Carlouk, Carluke, Forest Kirk. We have here three distinct and separate names, the first being the designation of... the church in the fourteenth century; the second, that which it obtained in the succeeding one ; and the third, which, however, is never found in any legal docu- ment, a merely popular appellation derived from a large portion of the parish being included in the royal forest of Mauldeslie. Chalmers derives the early name from the Celtic: Eglwys, a church; Moel, bald shaved, in a secondary sense a saint; and Luac, Luke ; and explains it as the church of St Luke. To sus- tain this hypothesis, he is obliged to read the word Eglismaluak, for which there is no authority whatever, the two forms given above being the only ones in which it appears, and in them the termination can in no way be supposed to refer to St Luke, who we have no reason to suppose was the patron saint of this church, while there is strong evidence that it was dedicated to St Andrew.
