Dear Gary
We do not dispute that the main family of Lairds are from the south of
Scotland, but our family is from Caithness and before that Norway. We have
no evidence of any connection with the Lairds of the south of Scotland, and
have been in Caithness for many hundreds of years.
To answer Sinclair's question it is the current Earl who has given us
permission to wear the Sinclair Tartans and badge.

Yours aye
Iain Laird
