We need not therefore be surprised if he invited over
Flemish weavers, or at meeting with Flemish names in the
district. J The most notable of these are Kettle, Pundler, Stein,
Clow, Hally (Halle), Frizall, Clemmet, and Houbron, &c. There
are, however, many others which are also common in Fifeshire,
where Flemish names abound, and may therefore have the same
origin.

Xii PREFACE.
It is a singular fact that one of the members of the Kettle
family migrated to Doune, where he and his descendants were
long known as pistol-makers ; a Fleming—John Kettle, gunmakcr
in London in 1618—came to England with others of that name.
