MacTays
Why this came to my mind at this time escapes me; but in googling the title, a comment sent to The Scotsman newspaper by me back in April popped up.
Here is the excerpted comment:-
Shame on me - lol - based on my birth in Braveheart territory, a private label Scotch being sold by a major drug store chain in the Western States and Hawaii is named “MacTays” - blame my supervisor, vice-president and founding brother of the chain. He asked me for the names of rivers and lochs in Scotland. In the bunch were Loch Tay and River Tay. As I mentioned these two, he snapped his fingers - “that’s it - MacTays” .
This event took place back in 1962 and, to this day, “MacTays” is still being sold. Another private label Scotch, “Kilties Best” had a similar naming process; but is no longer on the market.
Lang may yir lum reek.
