Pend
- in general, this term denotes the arch of a bridge or gateway, and sometimes refers to a vaulted gateway, such as can be seen at the entrance to the Abbeys of St Andrews and Arbroath. In street-names, however, it is most often used of a vaulted or arched passageway, especially one that leads from the street into the back-court of a block of houses. Examples include Buccleuch Pend and Porteous Pend in Edinburgh. This term also lies behind the derivation of Pen' Folk, a short-lived religious sect with Baptist principles which formed in the late eighteenth-century and met in a pend (or pen, as it is sometimes known) in the High Street in Paisley.
