[ANSTHRLD] Locative bynames in late-period Scotland?

[doug bell]

	If you have the same name as someone in the next village it is very 
authentic for period but it's an authenticity the SCA doesn't do.  In 
period I suspect if there were a writ for  William MacKay both would
be put in the gaol.

Scots locatives are referenced in this ruling.
The form would be of Ayr or de Ayr.

[October
2002 LoAR, A-East] Máire of Skye. “Locative bynames were
used in Scots 
(a language closely related to English which was used
in the 14th to 16th C). The spelling Skye is dated to circa
1610 (in Speed's The Counties of Britain, p. 266, map 
of
Scotland, map drawn 1610). Johnston (p. 296 s.n. Skye) dates Skey
to 1292. Scots 
locative bynames based on these forms would be of
Skye, de Skey, et cetera.”
