Sorry, found it! But still like confirmation of Esloin.
Esloin

\Es*loin"\, v. t. [See Eloign.] To remove; to banish; to withdraw; to avoid; to eloign. [Obs.]


Chambers
same as esloyne same as eloin
Eloin To convey to a distance to separate and remove
I think it is Airdrie
My Chambers gives
(arch) v.t. to convey to a distance, to separate and remove.

various spellings: eloin, eloign, esloin, esloyne


and of course you now have Airdrie, whose name comes from the Gaelic for high hill pasture
Airdrie
This North Lanarkshire town lies to the east of Glasgow. The name is said to derive from the Gaelic "Ard Ruith" meaning "High Pasture" but in the last few hundred years the town has been more industrial than pastoral.

Thank you all for rushing to my rescue. I am now drowning in a sea of information, gen2 and teacher1. Enough that I have Airdrie without having the extra complication of knowing why!
Aye, Aq.
