Tour Scotland travel video of the James Watson, Mariner, gravestone, in the cemetery of the Parish Church on ancestry visit to Kilrenny by Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Watson is a famous Anglo Scottish surname of great antiquity. Very popular in the north of England and the Border Country, it is one of the patronymic forms of the pre 7th century popular male personal name Watt, itself a development of the Anglo Saxon personal name and later surname, Walter. This has the interesting translation of powerful warrior. It is also claimed that the name was introduced into the British Isles by the Norman French invaders after the Conquest of England in 1066, in the forms of Waltier and Wautier.
