Crackpot is 7th in a poll of Britain's most unfortunate place names.
The name derives from the Old English "Kraka" , a crow, and the Viking word "Pot" meaning deep hole. In the case of Crackpot it refers to a rift in the limestone.
Top of the list was Shitterton in Dorset, followed by Scratchy Bottom also in Dorset and Brokenwind in Aberdeenshire!
