Paternal/maternal whatever.
Many a Scot bloodline was 'altered' by marriage to a rich female with titles etc. that followed.
It was so in the Scott line. The Clan Chieftain Richard Scott, the 10th Duke of Buccleuch, would attest to that.
This is your bloodline, if it so exists, and we follow those tracks more for historical reasons than anything else.
A sense of from where and when.
My cousin, David Scott, has been doing family lineage for nigh on to 40 years now back to the 1300's...it is his passion and for me an easy ride...thanks David.
I've a family tree in the USA that goes back to the 1700's (Jerome Scott) by Scott name to my Grandfather Paul Scott.
What does this matter to a Scots Scot....not a whit. It is only of worth to me and I've never been interrogated about it at any gathering.
