While we are on the topic of name switches, and since this is the Argyll List, can anyone provide information on the reason /background for the following: The name McCombich (various spellings) is found almost exclusively in Argyll and Perthshire. My Stewarts are in Perthshire but (according to family legend) emigrated from Argyll about 1650. Shortly after they began to use McCombich (Gaelic for companion) as a surname and then reverted to Stewart. I have documents ancestors who were baptized McCombich and married as Stewart. We believe that there is some connection with our family's immigration to Perthshire with the legendary Lady of Lawers. Margaret
