Re: McNokaird = Sinclair ?

[dragonsong@sbcglobal.net]

As I've always been taught, the Gaelic of Sinclair is Mac na Ceardadh. 
 When I was a lad on the town of Wick, we'd use the Gaelic at the school 
just to mess about the teachers. Mac na Ceardadh is what we used then as 
I got it from my Grand Father and I still use that name betimes today, 
just for a lark. *s*
Blessings,
Tearlach Sinclair
