I researched my family History a few years ago, got back to the mid 1600's.
All Scots on both sides.
Fathers Side:- All from 3 fishing villages on the Buchan Coast - Cairnbulg, Inverallochy & St.Combs (Charlestown).
Mothers Side:- Mostly from the NE - Rosehearty, Fraserburgh, New Aberdour, New Pitsligo, New Deer.
Also - Eyemouth, Leith, Edinburgh, Inverness, Kiltarlity.
