I was interested to read what Ian Laird wrote about Lairds coming from Orkney and was also interested to see the trasncription of the IGI's. Does anyone know if there are any older records and any information on Lairds who moved to the lowlands. My family has been in the Renfrewshire area of Scotland since the early 1700's and I have often wondered if they cam from some other part of the country as we lose track of them. Kind regards Graeme Laird
