Might not be Scottish after all.

[Colonel MacNeal]

As a former resident of Denmark, I can tell you that there are quite a few Scottish surnames in the country. I used to live with Hag family (pronounced Hay) when I was an exchange student many years ago. This is not a typical Danish name, and they weren't sure where it came from, but Scotland was a strong contender.

There I go again, killing another thread.

Peter Nissan is not likely a Danish name either - if Scandinavian it's most likely Swedish. The Danish spelling of Peter is "Peder" (yes, I know it's a naughty word in some languages). And almost all Scandinavians under the name Scott has that name because they at some time emigrated from Scotland to wherevere they are now. "Scot(t)" simply isn't a likely name in Scandinavia. The only word that sounds like it is "skott", which means bulkhead. Don't think a lot of people are named after bulkheads. More likely to be called a Scot if you are one. But then I have a friend whose surname is "Welsh", and he's from Glasgow.
