The other way around actually, he was James II of England which is how he is usually referred to. I think most Scots, particularly the Covenanters, would prefer not to refer to him at all. Jamie the saxt (James VI of Scotland) son of Mary Queen of Scots became James I of England and on Charles II's death with no heir his brother James got the job. Confusing isn't it? Our present queen should properly be known in Scotland as Elizabeth I but somebody decided that the Scottish people have no history of any value so imposed her on them as Elizabeth II. Quite a lot of Scots don't really have much time for the whole deferential royal thing apart from those around Dee-side who make a nice living out of it. But I digress. Unfortunately Robertson, Reid & McKinnon are fairly common names and widespread throughout Scotland which makes tracking any down all the more difficult. Inverness-shire isn't too far removed from Robertson country and is the centre most folk from the isles such as McKinnons tend to head for so I think you would be safe enough assuming your Reid was one of the Robertson Reids.
