According to Philip Norman, author of the biography, John Lennon: The Life, family vacations taken by the Lennons to the coastal Scottish village of Durness, compelled a young Lennon to call himself â€ËœJockâ€â„¢Ã¢€”â€ËœJohn used to say that he felt more Scottish than English. He was always calling himself Jock and Whistling Jock Lennon, and even when he was living in New York he was always searching for a house that would remind him of the croft where he spent his childhood.'
