Anyone named something like McLeodalini might be suspect. OTOH, there is Campbell - which derives from campo bella."

I’ll be on the lookout for that.
I just heard a lot of gutteral sounds that sounded like acch and agh and words I didn’t understand, and (I am usually very good at recognizing languages even if I don’t speak them) I thought it was German.

Not the Scots of today, who have embraced socialism and dependence. They pine to free themselves of Great Britain to then eagerly submit to the EU.
