Etymology
Hardkin (lost), Hartkin 1689 PR, Hardkin 1690, 1694, 1704 ib, (Hardkin als. Dale-head ) 1718 ib. The place is near Dalehead (infra ) at grid 83–485196, and the name may well refer to the valley of Heltondale Beck where it narrows into a deep ravine; the second el. is doubtless ME kyne 'crack, chasm' or ON kinn 'declivity', as in Barkin (i, 24supra ), v. heard 'hard'.
