Scottish Doves

[davedove]

Could anyone tell me how I might find some information on the history of the Dove family in Scotland? They are supposed to have associated with the Buchanans, but that's all I could find.

Before anyone asks, my Dove line comes from England, so I have no family ties, unless way back when someone moved south. I am just looking for general information about this family.

Could the Scottish family be a variant spelling of Duff, as in Duff/MacDuff (Clann Dubh) as the Gaelic actually sounds closer to Dove than Duff (it's the same word as in sgian dhubh)?
