Simon Fraser was a Canadian Explorer. Simon Fraser was also a Scottish Lord--well several Scottish Lords, including one Jacobite martyr. Coming across the story of the latter a few years ago, I mistook him to be the namesake of the Canadian university in Vancouver. After all, how many guys named Simon Fraser could there be? Apparently lots.
Also, there are lots of bodies of water named Leven. Idly, I was reading about the River Clyde today. Among its major tributaries are the Rivers Leven and Kelvin. But apparently there are numerous bodies of water, within and without Scotland, called Leven.
