Scottish Kirk

By way of a Buccleuch & Greyfriars anecdote, I was looking in the church directory today and was struck by the high percentage of surnames beginning with the letter 'M.' I came to the immediate conclusion - in a rather reluctant Foxworthian fashion - that you know you attend a Scottish church if there are 17 Macdonalds, 3 MacGillivarys, 13 Mackays, 5 Mackenzies, 6 Macleans, 30 Macleods, 6 Macphails, 9 Machpersons, 3 Macraes , 3 Macreas, and 6 Murrays!
