Strathcona

Strathcona is a 19th-century variation of "Glen Coe", a river valley in Scotland. The word was invented for use in the title Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, first used for Donald Smith (1820–1914), a Canadian railway financier, in order to avoid association with the Massacre of Glencoe of 1692.
