Dear John and Scott,
Thank you both so very much! It's great that Onomastics has a higher profile now than in the past, coming to be recognised as a discipline in its own right rather than just playing a supportive role to History and Linguistics. I very much hope that Richard and I will soon be joined by others!
Best wishes,
Carole

This is the first time that I have seen this notice. Hearty felicitations
to
Carole Hough, Professor of Onomastics. If I am correct, there are only two
professors of onomastics in the English-speaking world: Professor Hough in
Scotland and Professor Coates in England. USA, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand have none to my knowledge

I have been offline for three weeks (just be grateful you are not with
Virgin Media!), so I have only just come across this: I hope this news is
sufficiently recent for congratulations to be still in order?
(Google's cache suggests that the University of Glasgow's website was
updated sometime after 31st July, so I am assuming that this was the first
public announcement.)
