How the affix name came about.

The name, Pyatshaw, comes from this group of trees in the Lammermuir hills in East Lothian. The dogs and I walked by them frequently when we lived on a farm nearby.

I have read that it means "the hollow of the magpies", which seems fairly apt as a few of my papillons are, or were, black and white and they love to steal anything, shiny or otherwise.
