It just occurred to me: wasn't his grandmother from Scotland? Does anyone know what her maiden name would have been (and its associated tartan)?
Bowles-Lyon; her father was the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

For that matter, now that I think on it more, what is the Royal family's surname- Windsor??? I don't know if I've ever really thought about that? Curious...
The late Queen Mother wasn't actually born in Scotland but on her father's English estate though she was raised in Scotland at Glamis Castle.
Technically the family has two names Windsor (The Royal House) and Mountbatten-Windsor but the latter is only applied to descendants of the Queen who are not directly in the line of succession. Both The Princess Royal and the Duke of York used this when signing their marriage registers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountbatten-Windsor
Prince Philip was most unhappy at the time of his wedding that his children would not take his family name as happened with the children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (Edward VII being Saxe-Coburg and not Hanover) and George V beginning his reign with that surname also). The Queen being pressured to declare her "will and pleasure" in a 1960 Order In Council that she and her descendants were to retain the Windsor name.
Charles may have a different "will and pleasure" on the matter upon ascending the throne - only time will tell.

Have heard two different versions - Rothsea and Rothsay in both cases the "e" is silent.

i gather though folks from other parts of scotland might say it different depending on regional accents
