Hi William; Are you sure of these locations? There is a Sluggan in Invernessshire, down by Carrbridge, which is Macpherson clan territory. That's the only one I know. I didn't find a Slateford in Banff, either. I have a lot of Macpherson information but knowing the correct location would help a lot.
