Keir Starmer is named after the Keir roundabout, at the end of the M9 near Dunblane and Bridge of Allan.

Some say that the roundabout is named after Starmer; this is completely untrue. The roundabout has existed for many hundreds of years, and Starmer's mother was involved in an accident there, while commuting from Perth to Falkirk on her Harley Davidson. The AA recovery man who attended fell in love with her, and they named their first child after the place that they met.
