My understanding is based on George MacDonald Fraser's 'The Steel Bonnets' and, IIRC, he has them orignating in Scotland but largely settling on the English side. Somewhat like the Armstrongs in reverse. In any event, a bold reiving bunch.
No problem, at all, my surname is a sept of Graham, my family went North at some point, my Dad was born in Blackburn just outside of Aberdeen my paternal grandmother was a Gunn, so some of them at least went North for noe reason or another.
