    My great great grandmother was a Buchanan and the name has been passed down in each generation since.  She married a Macadam and arrived with him and extended family in Melbourne in 1848.  The Buchanan castle is (or at least was in the 80's) a picturesque ruin in the middle of a golf course near Loch Lomond.  Apparently, George Buchanan was a famous Latin scholar and tutor to Mary Queen of Scots and later to her son, James (I believe he was also convinced that the world was flat).

    How did you all find whether your forebears had sat on the fence or not with the Scots vs the Poms??   I am a 'MacIlwraith' ....... and don't  know WHO they supported!!!  ;)  All my siblings names are Scottish!  (Including me - a female version of Robert.)

    @arpie I'm a Ross. When I visited Culloden there was an information panel with this sort of information.

    I was born and raised in Scotland, came here when I was 19. Scottish schools taught Scottish history! I would have preferred to have been associated with the Frasers of Lovat, but I am pretty sure I am not.
