Proposal Hi all. I would like to add the following note:

Other Scottish Pauls

Not all Scottish Paul families can trace their origins to Gaelic or Highland clan origins. Some Pauls around the Glasgow area appear to have a Flemish origin. John Paul, a embroiderer, arrived around 1512 to manufacture garments for the Scottish Court of James IV. ^[1]
