From where does the name Craigton come?

Dear Ian
I think You have answered this before but I can not find the answer and I am getting even more crazy trying to figure it out.
From where comes the name "Craigton" that You use in Your naming of plants.
Sorry if You have answered it several times before but I could not find it.

All the bests (ass (oops  ) as in Your Craigton cultivars

Joakim

It is the name of the area we live in on the Western edge of Aberdeen, our house is in Craigton Road.

When I started naming plants I always picked Scottish sounding names then I realised that other people used a 'stable' prefix to their plant names so you could always tell the source of that plant and that appealed to me so I adopted that system.

Thanks for the information.
I can now go back to the other things with a rested head.

Ian, I don't like your new avatar picture. It makes you look grim and grumpy, instead of the dear man we all know you are. Could we have the photo back please?

[Ian Y]

Lesley it is very difficult to hold a smile on your face long enough to draw it, besides I was concentrating.

However picture will return in due course.

But that pic is of the Artist as a Young Man! (....or is it the man Young as an artist?)
