Albanyshire is county in the north-east of Brunswich Island, the largest island of New Ingerland.
Toponomy
The toponomy of Albanyshire is drawn from Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany (1763 – 1827)[2], the second son of George III and the late brother of William IV, who was the Ingerish sovereign at the time New Ingerland was settled in the 1830s. The title is in turn derived from ancient Scottish ducal title of Albany, which is an ancient poetic name of Gaelic origin for the northern part of Britain[3].
