In Response To: Re: Were Caldwell's (David Caldwell)

: Interesting word. in post war Glasgow most houses had a
: "Wally dug" (dog) on the mantlepiece as in
: "wally" china clay. But in auld Scots or
: Lallans, Wally meant big/strong ie in Burns
: "Address to a Haggis" The lines
: "But mark the rustic, Haggis fed, clap in his
: "wally nieve" (fist) a blade he'll make it
: whistle
: and legs and arms and heads he'll sned (cut off) like
: tops o' thristle" David

Big slow on this one -
Does this suggest that "Caldwell" means "cold-hands"?
In which case it was probably given to early Caldwell male suitors by their girlfriends :)
