Regarding the Lochtay side survey of 1769, not easily accessed, I'm afraid, Glen! I viewed a copy at the Tay Valley History Society in Dundee. It is held at The National Archives of Scotland.

Joyce - where does one find this survey done by the Earl? Like Natalie, I have DEWARs from that area around Loch Tay, Killin, Edinchip, Lawers, all along Strath Fillan. The Earl's records would surely be helpful! Regards - Glen C.

I believe Ardtalnaig means 'height of the cattle pass' As Katie says, it is on the south side of Loch Tay - about half-way between Kenmore village and Killin. The Earl of Breadalbane conducted a survey of the whole region in 1769. William's father, John McKenzie, is listed as residing in Rhevucky (Remony), married to a Margaret Malloch. Interesting, huh? I'll dig up the records and the map of the area tomorrow and see if I can find Lurgin. I'll get back to you with whatever I find. Joyce Ontario/Canada Researching McKenzie, Fisher, Stewart, McGregor

Thanks Joyce - not easily accessed from Toronto, I agree, but at least I now know it exists! I already have copies of In Famed Breadalbane and also Lockwood's book on Beckwith. I'll checkout Archive.org for the others. And just in case your McKenzies and my Dewars connect, here are some possibilities: Dugald McNair McKenzie (1850-1935) m. 1918 Anna Bella Dewar (1864-1961) Timothy Jay McKenzie (1958- ) m. Terri Lynn Dewar (1955- ) And I've got another pile of McKenzies in PEI who married in several of my family lines there (Mutch, McMillan, Coffin). Regards - Glen C.
