1844-45 Notes of J. Horsburgh on Small
Tenants in Tongue
During the summers of 1844 and 1845 John Horsburgh, the
Estate Factor, visited tenants in Scullomie,
Blandy, Dalcharn, Coldbackie, Rhitongue, Tongue Village, Braetongue and
Braekirkiboll. With much help from Malcolm Bangor-Jones, I have
transcribed the Factor's book, concentrating on
details of interest for family historians: names,
relationships and ages.
