I'm hoping that a member, who will most likely be native of Scotland, might be able to help with a name puzzle. Although I was born in South London, of London-based parents, my grandfather's name was Harding. That sounds rather Scottish to me, though having searched on name/country association sites it comes up as being very much English. I wonder why, then, that whenever I search Harding along with another Scottish keyword (maybe a city name or area), that there are so many entries for this surname. Does anyone know if it has a touch or more of Scots to it? Or not.
