Tuam is a location in Ireland. Now a town, originally better known as
the archdiocese. The idea of a "Scottish Tuam" is as nonsensical as a
Windsor chair made outside Berkshire 8-)

I'm not familiar with this pattern of chair being described as a "Tuam
chair". As it happens, Tuam does have a famous chair but it's a stone
throne allegedly the coronation chair of the O'Connor kings.

Looks damned uncomfortable!

Who cares? You make one, and give it to the cousin you don't like,
or your mother-in-law - they'll think you're great, and never get rid of
it, no matter how uncomfortable it is. No prob.
