Sadly, I'm not actually *in* Badenoch, though parts of my Scots heritage come from that area. I chose the forum name because one Alexander Stewart was given the appellation "the Wolf of Badenoch." I thought it would work as a way to consolidate differing parts of family history in one username. It wasn't until after I had made the name that I learned his moniker was NOT a compliment.
Don't be so harsh on the Wolf. To paraphrase; one man's Bandito is another man's Robin Hood. The Wolf is buried in Dunkeld Cathedral in a rather fine sarcophagus.
In my book, anyone who gave the rapacious Bishops a hard time can't have been all bad. Carry your name with your head held high.
