Liz,
I have done quite a bit of reserach on this family as it is the one I am connected to, albeit in a far out way! My link is with Robina Brass, sister of Charles Clouston Brass senior. Traill Watt came from names used in the family of the local laird - naming your children after the local landowner or minister or teacher was quite common during the 1800s.
Contact me directly and I can provide further information.
