Malcolm

We know why Jamie has two of his middle names - Alexander for Brian’s half-brother (the abbot we meet at the end of Book 1), and MacKenzie for Ellen’s family.

But Malcolm - where did that one come from?

Well - Brian and Ellen met at Leoch on the night that Ellen was to meet Malcolm Grant - who her parents intended for her to marry. It was to avoid Malcolm Grant that (among other things) motivated Ellen to run away with Brian.

So I’ve always thought that naming their second son after Malcolm Grant was a quiet thank you to the man who directly (if inadvertently) brought Brian and Ellen together.
