Hi Margie, This simply means that the person is renting the place, in this case a large farm, from the owner of a larger estate. Westerton is in the parish of Craig which is just south of Montrose. You can find it on Multimap using the postcode DD10 9TN. As far as I know there is no automatic right of a son (for example) to take over his father's tenancy it seems that this often happens in practice.
