The article claims, in two different places, that he died at 23 and at 25. The birth and death dates given at the top make his age at death 24. Can someone with access to a reliable source fix this? 91.105.22.150 18:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- According to the ODNB, birthdates given, he was 24 at death. Other than that, couldn't comment. Maybe other sources disagree with Scott's birthdate. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 19:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] meaning of name Malcolm
From internet baby websites I gather that Malcolm means "follower of the dove" and by extension refers to a servant or follower of St.Columba - the prolog/leader gives the translation of Malcolm into Gaelic and Old Gaelic but not the English meaning ... I think this would be useful to know. Perhaps it's too trivial? I'm sure a Gaelic speaker or student of Old Gaelic could provide some illumination here. See eg Index of Names in Irish Annals: Máel Coluim / Maol Choluim. Pbhj (talk) 00:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
