Just read the website and it is very interesting. I would however wish to disagree with Ralph. The name Gillies, as he says,is Gaelic in origin and is very much a West of Scotland name (in particular Argyll and the Western Isles). Consequently there are far more Gillies in that part of the country than there are in either Edinburgh or Fife. The spelling Gillis is very unusual in Scotland at present, in every part of the country.
