There are a decent amount of placenames with that a very similar syllable : Biggings Newbiggings Mid Biggings Upper Bigging, etc These places in my experience have been rural and pre-1850, not found one yet in a town setting but not looking. Might they be structures named for being situated near bere fields when built ? Most of my knowlege is near Orphir. Would early island folk have commonly had a storage building for grain like black oats or bere that later became larger and housed people ? Trying to account for a residence name containing a reference to bere or bygg. MegG in OK =========================
