I have not heard of the name Eglah /Elgah before but it could be a misprint

Thanks for your help and advice team. Just wondreing if anybody has any further information on Catherine Reid or Elgah Hopton. Is the name Elgah a Scottish equivalent of anything?
Apparently the Hoptons lived at Hoptoun House while livng in Scotland - I presume it was in the servants quarters but would love to find out more.
I am hoping I can find more family trees with connections to mine and that I can make contact with any relatives that may be overseas that I can make contact with- no matter how distant I am very, very interested.
Thanks again for your help.
