Dear George and Gail, This area had a great many Trail/Traills living in the parishs in the area Kinnell Arbroath, Montroseduring the 1700s all connected to each other a shoemaker his son a local well respected school master among them.They also include small farmers, and highly qualified hand weavers.It was a long time before linen could be machine woven as the thread is very uneven unlike cotton. It would be extremely surprizing if the Coutts and the Trail/Traills had not known each other. Two other Trail family groups also live in the area one family who are connected to the present family in Ireland were clerics and ministers of the Church. The last family living someway north of Kinnell on the shore of the North Sea appear to be marinersnot immediaely connected to the Kinnell family as far as I can find Elsie
