Re the mention of the Walkers in post 56 in this thread, I found this interesting quote, "The Gaelic form MACNUCATOR derives from "Mac an fhucadair" (son of the fuller (of the cloth)), of which the old Scots equivalent is 'Waulker', derived from 'Walker', a middle English form which comes from the Old English 'wealcere'. The form 'Walker' is also found in England, Ireland and elsewhere, and although amongst the 30 most common names in Scotland, such ancestry should not be assumed without genealogical or geographical evidence. Many of todays Walkers were originally MacNucators, but as the name prospered in many parts of Scotland devoid of Highland association, and given the widespread distribution of the occupation, it seems most unlikely that many were related, other than by continuation of the tradition of that trade within their own family. Such trade names were not patronymics, but were used for the sake of distinction within the particular clan or community in which they dwelt. In 1613 - 14, persons of this name in Balquidder, Perthshire were fined for reset (sheltering) of members of the proscribed Clan Gregor. Some MacNucators followed the Stewarts of Appin in the Rising of 1745. Undoubtedly, many Walkers and MacNucators will be able to trace an ancestry to areas dominated by other clans, and if such association be established it is quite appropriate to adopt their tartans etc. As far as I can trace there are two tartans to which the name Walker can be associated. MacGregor Red & Stewart of Appin - this is a blue/green tartan."
