That is one 1873 theory, but McArthur easily debunks it, so it makes one 
wonder ...  another theory is named by another Scotsman, Steele, reason 
unknown -- of course, those earlier Paisly settlers called it something 
else 10,000 years before it was ever seen by the white guy's eyes, and 
probably many, many other native names in between ...
