Peter Pan's "tinkerbell" got her name from the Irish Tinkers. I think "tinker" is from "tin". They would go around offering to bang your pots and pans back into shape.

ps Tinkerbell isn't real.

Written by a great Scot, JM Barrie.

I have been in his birthplace/museum twice, and used to travel to his birthplace of Kirriemuir. Lovely wee place. The museum is also worth a visit.
