Answer:
Yes, Stitchel(l) is a
Scottish name and appears in Black's Surnames of Scotland: "From the
lands of Stitchel in Roxburghshire. The name appears to have travelled north to
Aberdeenshire by the eighteenth century."
It is said that
shipwrecked sailors from the Spanish Armada settled in Scotland but I cannot
find a Burns' poem about such a Stitchell. If anyone knows of it please get in
touch.
