    pages from "The Sinclairs of the Isles" which will give you the 
Spottiswoode link.

    By a strange coicidence, one of my ex-BBC friends is a Spottiswoode and 
is, of course,
    well aware of the Sinclair link with her family.  There is also a 
Spottiswoode Street in
    Edinburgh where, by another of those coincidences, Euan Sinclair, our 
Clan lawyer, used
to live before he moved to Elgin.
