	The name is WEIR!
		The Weir family seems to have had a long running feud with the Lockharts, who were accused of many murders during this time but, never punished due to their rank.
		Weirs/Veres of Stonebyres and Archtyfardle and Mossmynemion were branches of the Weirs of Blackwood. In the 1500s a century-old feud between the Weirs of Blackwood and their cousins the Veres of Stonebyres was supposedly ended when the Veres swore allegiance to Weir of Blackwood and acknowledged him as their chief.
		The Scottish Weir motto remains the same as the English de VERE motto: "Vero nihil verius" also written as "Vero nil Verius." This can be translated as "Nothing truer than truth" or alternately "Truth nothing but the truth." And the Weir crest is based on the de VERE coat, with the blue boar.

	A History of Homeopathy in Britain
		Sir John Weir, once the Queen's physician, was reputedly Physician Royal to six monarchs: Edward VII, George V (1865-1936), Edward VIII (1894-1972), George VI (1895-1952), Elizabeth II, King Gustav V of Sweden (1858-1950) and King Haakon VII of Norway (1872- 1957).

		Examples include Dudgeon, Weir, Drysdale, Henderson, Skinner, George MacLeod, John Paterson, Ephraim Connor, Gibson Miller and William Boyd, and more recently David Taylor Reilly, and all of whom probably rank as great homeopaths in world terms.
