I realise this is not necessarily what you wanted Deirdre, but...... My husband went to school with a Liddell in Kirkwall, so they are definitely there! In the Highlands and Islands telephone directory there are only three Liddell entries. One of which is a Reverend!!!!!! Coincidence? There are several entries for Liddle, which I presume is a variant. Get in touch directly if you want more info. Good luck.
