Piper suggests, that perhaps a Scotchman is meant, as "Skorottan" appears in the "Thidreksaga", chap. 28, as an ancient name of Scotland. "Gibecke", "Ramung" and "Hornbog", see Adventure XXII, notes 4 and 5. "Nudung", see Adventure XXVII, note 3. "Ortlieb". In the "Thidreksaga" Etzel's son is called Aldrian.
