TuairiscTorthorwald and the hills beyond, as seen from Georgetown in Dumfries - geograph.org.uk - 425852.jpg
English: Torthorwald and the hills beyond, as seen from Georgetown in Dumfries Rainbow visible after a rain.
One story of the origin of the placename Torthorwald is as follows, from an internet source:
There was a large Norse presence in this region which is prevalent in place names such as Tynwald, Mouswald and Thorthorwald. A Norse legend tells of how Thor would drive through the skies on his chariot, scraping his wheels off the tops of hills making sparks, thus producing thunder and lightning. So the name means "the hills where Thors chariot wheels make ( fire ), lightning" or "Thor's fire stones" or "Thor's hearth".
