There are a few Torryburns around, but I only know of the New England one and of course the Scotland original township. If someone has the Lands Department historic maps for the area and you know what county or parish, or near what town your property is, the person might be able to look up the maps for you and see who the land holder was. Other than that, ask the Lands Department themselves by visiting your nearest branch, or local Government body. Just suggestions. Lynette Lynette Begg P.O.
