I have heard that Scotland was the origin of the name Silkwood. The story I was told at the time of Bonny Prince Charley members of the Clan MacLeod left Scotland for the Hebrides Isles , and when they left the Hebrides Isles some change to Silkwood. This is the story I got from my parents in the early 50s. I have seen nothing in writing to this effect since being told this. W.A. Silkwood
