Allan showed Joe and me this carving on the pavement in Edinburgh and it had our family name in it “Tay”. It was a quote by Voilet Jacob, a Scottish writer now known especially for her historical novel Flemington and her poetry. I was curious to know what she meant by Tay, and I found this on the web.

A river of central Scotland rising in the Grampian Mountains and flowing about 190 km (118 mi) through Loch Tay to the Firth of Tay, an inlet of the North Sea.

There is a river with my name Quite rare for a Chinese, in an Scotland eh?
