Surname ORR

[Kin-getter]

I have Orr Ancestors who as far as I can tell are entirely Scottish.
However, I also know the name Orr is also known in Ireland.

I've never found the answer as to whether the name is originally Scottish or Irish.

Thoughts please - on something larger than a postcard

Thanks,

James.
