		Scottish Gaels in the 10th century gave children 10th century Scottish Gaelic names, which were not the same as the 16th century Scottish Gaelic names 16th century Scottish Gaels gave to children.
		Like elsewhere in Europe, the various Scottish naming cultures each had one set of given names that were considered appropriate for men, a different set of given names that were considered appropriate for women, and a smaller set of given names that could be used for either men or women.
		In the Scottish cultures where patronymics were the norm (such as Gaelic culture), only children of the same gender who shared the same father would share the same byname, while their father and mother would each have a different one.

	Edinburgh Law School, Scots Law News
		Scots Law News’ worry that literal interpretation of legislation and other rules is alive and well outside the court room (see previously No 508) was reinforced by reading on the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4392778.stm) of the Inverness Raigmore Hospital Policy with regard to the retention of teeth removed during dental procedures at the hospital.
		A four-year old child was required to leave her extracted teeth with the hospital, although she had made a special box to carry them home with her in order to present them to the tooth fairy (a figure deployed by the child’s mother to make her less fearful of the ordeal which lay before her).
		Scots Law News (many years ago) also had a clause in it to the effect that it was a gentleman’s agreement, binding in honour only and not intended to create legal relations.
