It's actually very, very common for the housed to be named in Scotland. Even in the cities most actual houses, especially the older ones, will be named.
In Glasgow they often have the names carved on the sandstone gate pillars.
One thing that does amuse a lot of people in Scotland is when foreigners will ask for the Gaidhlig name of their own house which just happens to be called 'Little house.'
Well, wouldn't you know it but that's the literal translation of the Gaidhlig term for 'Toilet.'
