Clans

I noted with some interest that the Isle of Bute where the "Stuart" Clan hails from is spelled Stewart. But I'm also aware that it is the same family and Stuart is a spelling variation made by Mary Queen of Scots ( if memory serves).

I'll bet I explain spelling differences at least a dozen times at each of the games I attend. People today can't quite get past the fact that "Fraser" and "Frazier" are one and the same. Or, this typical question: "Well....isn't 'Mc' Irish and 'Mac' Scottish?" But, the important thing is that they're interested and they're searching. What needs to be taken with a grain of salt are the "sept lists."
