This is a list of placenames in Scotland which have subsequently been applied to parts of New Zealand by Scottish emigrants or explorers .
The South Island also contains the Strath-Taieri and the Ben Ohau Range of mountains, both combining Scots Gaelic and Māori origins, as does Glentaki , in the lower valley of the Waitaki River. Invercargill has the appearance of a Scottish name, since it combines the Scottish prefix "Inver" (Inbhir ), meaning a river's mouth, with "Cargill", the name of Scottish early settler William Cargill . (Invercargill's main streets are named after Scottish rivers, e.g.;, Dee, Tay, Spey, Esk, Don, Doon, Clyde.) Inchbonnie is a hybrid of Lowland Scots and Scottish Gaelic .
