   Dunno. Never heard of that name but then I'm no expert on Scottish names. Did   
   they once live in the lands around Cromarty?   
   Not many left in the old group now eh? Sad in a way but I guess everything   
   changes in the end. I still remember the heady days when I was awarded "The   
   second least successful troll in the history of Usenet 1998 Award". I was so   
   proud.
