Electric Scottland

Electric Scotland is a very large site mostly about the history of Scotland, the Scots and Scots-Irish and people and places around the world of Scottish descent.

The Clan MacMartin (Cloinn Mhàrtainn) gained a reputation in Scotland of being very cunning. The origin of the Highland saying: “Sliochd nan sionnach – Clann Mhartainn” (“Race of the foxes – Clan Martin”)comes from them. Consequently, a fox’s fox’s nickname in Gaelic is a Gillie; more specifically a “Gille-Martainn” or Martin’s Gillie.
