    Stewart/Stuart. The spelling was changed while she was growing up in France, as the French alphabet did not have the letter "w" at the time.

    If by "clan" you mean "Highland," the royal Stewarts/Stuarts weren't a part of a Highland clan. The main Stewarts of the Highlands were the Stewarts of Appin.

    Pettycoat tails

    This is a bit OT, but did you know that when Marie Stuart went back to Scotland, she brought along her French baker ?
    This man baked short breads he called "Petites gautelles", which were pronounced and later to be known as... Pettycoat tails.
