Oh, I don't know, Oink. There were no McNeil or McLeod clans. There were, however, the MacNeils and the MacLeods. The former seemed to have been a reclusive family who retired to the Outer Hebridean islands and the Isle of Barra whereas the MacLeods also seemed to be island folks, living in the Isle of Skye. Their chief was called "Macleod of Macleod" which I think is a lovely name! Perhaps this is where you got your ambition to live on an isolated island? Maybe a quarter credit for you!
You need a real Scottish name like Kerr to get more credit
Actually, if you ever hear someone say "I'm Scotch" then you should immediately give them no credit at all - no Scot calls themselves "Scotch" - well, unless they are referring to the whisky. And, incidentally, if you ever see someone claiming to be Irish and spelling it "Irish Whisky" you know they need locking up, and quickly.
