Indeed. My humble apologies to Mackintosh of Torcastle and to all other Chattan chiefs. I had read that the chiefship was at one time disputed, and had momentarily forgotten that the matter was resolved by a decision of Lyon Court.

With regard to Spanish, this thread has brought up some interesting differences between Latin America and Iberia, some of which I was unaware of.
I do know that in Spain (or at any rate in Castile) the letter c is pronounced as English th (soft th, or Þ), while in the Americas it is simply an s-sound. Apparently one of the kings of Spain had a lisp, and it became fashionable to lisp like his majesty. The colonials never took to this new-fangled idea.
But ç is always pronounced as s.
Language is a fascinating topic, always bringing up fresh aspects.
