One imy lineal ancestors on the paternal line was a Tirloch MacSwuyne. I never have been able to, with any degree of confidence, pronounce either component

Tirloch: is it pronounced "tour lock" or 'tier luhck" or some combination of the four?

Guess I'll have to go visit County Sligo to get advice.

The fireweed information is great! I had never heard of "bomb weed"
