Can some kind person please tell me whereabouts in Kirkcudbright Claremichael is. I have just read a lovely book by Pauline Neville called "My Fathers House " the family lived in Claremichael where the father was the Parish minister. I have been to Castle Douglas and Cross Michael where my father came from ,but cannot find Claremichael on my OS maps . The book makes me want to return there but it is too late now. Pity. Thank you for any help, My niece has just returned from visiting her Grandfather's roots! The early Irving family farmed at Michael Ernambrie and Blackerne, where there is still a descendant . Margaret in NZ .

Hi Margaret I think the author has invented the name. In Crossmichael parish is a small village called Clarebrand. Best wishes Ian A McClumpha Need help with your Scottish Family History research?
