Rinn or Rhinn = peninsula in Scotts Gaelic, so basic assumption of English history is incorrect. The "Queen of the Rinns" was Dora Charlotte Campbell, mother of Walter Frederick Campbell, Laird of Islay (in the Western Isles of Scotland) 1816 to 1848. He carried out much development on Islay, and named Port Charlotte after his mother. He was bankrupted following the potato famine, which hit Scotland as well as Ireland, a little known fact.
