Morning Lainie
Scotland's People can be pernickety about spellings; and if you switch Soundex ON, you are then flooded.
A good way of getting some idea of the likely range of spellings to use on SP is to go to Family Search; and key in the names/s that you are trying to find, on separate Searches.
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=search_all1.asp&clear_form=true
Leave it searching for variants by NOT ticking "*Use exact spelling".
Amazingly, the basic range of variants it uses was compile by a researcher in New York Central Library in 1929, long before computers as we know theem, existed.
Obviously there have now been additions tpo that list - but it is the foundation.
