Dr. Mackintosh (or Macintosh") was Scottish, a surgeon with the Royal Navy. Their family coat of arms was a cat reaching after a glove, with the motto "Touch not the cat but a glove." Mention is made of his clan in the novel by Sir Walter
Scott, in his novel "The Fair Maid of Perth." They were fighters as far back, as heard from -- none of them "nursed on the milk of the white doe."
