My parents took my son to Scotland last summer, up to Thurso--so far north that your nose bleeds--because we are McKays. But I haven't ever heard of that town! I did google it and it looks like many of the genealogy links are saying: Frucay, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, as if it's a hamlet of Gla...
