Hi,
some years ago my Brother Michael was corresponding with you about family gealogies in the Cabrach. He shared info with me, as he knew I was similarly interested. My brother died in 2015, and I am trying to continue with his work. Any help much appreciated. I spent my childhood in Craigellachie, father's family were in the Cabrach area for some centuries. I found a message from Michael on RootsChat where he says that although we appear to be related to all the Cabrach families, he is still mystified as to where/when the first Scotts appeared, and why.
Father's sister Annie had a story that seven Scott brothers came north to fight in a battle (it's always seven, or three, in stories, or so it seems !).
I have admired Stuart Petrie's researches, and also ThreeStones.
