In order to help you, I'm sure that even the experts will need a little more information than you've given.
Is it a grand piano? An upright, a square?
Better still a photo or two usually helps.
I was playing the piano in a zoo, when the elephant burst into tears. I said, "Don't you recognize the tune?" He replied, "No, I recognize the ivories!"

Welcome to the forum lusar

A name on a piano does not guarantee a host of information from here. I believe the name has a Scottish meaning, but without photos, we cant determine its approx. age, design etc. It also helps to remove the front panel and take a photo of the mechanism - this will help us to determine how old it is.

Hope that helps....
