Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Antiquity of the Name of Scott, With Brief Historical Notes: A Paper Read Before the Western Reserve Historical Society
The theory of Professor Inness, of Edinburgh University, in relation to the original name of Scott in Scotland, is that, long before surnames were known, the people of that country, who wandeihzd into England, there received the distinctive appellation of Scotus or Scot, and re turned to Scotland, bearing the name of Scot, in addition to their former name. The canny lad who crossed the border, as plain Robert, returned in time from England as Robert Scot, and reared a family who retained the surname of their ancestor.
