List of consecutive consonant patterns associated with this surname:

When producing these maps, I use the exact spelling in the 1901 Scottish Census, with the following exceptions: all surnames are converted to uppercase, MC and M' are replaced with MAC, and non-alphabetical characters are removed. For example, Mac Vey and McVey appear together as MACVEY. O'Neill, Oneill, ONeill, and Ó Néill appear as ONEILL. D'Arcy and Darcy are combined as DARCY.

I have worked carefully to ensure accuracy, but I take no responsibility for errors in the official census. Enjoy exploring the maps!
