Hello Nathalie, My ggggggrandfather, William McKenzie was born in Kindrochit of Ardtalnaig. 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.

"Ardtalnaig" may very well be the name of my mystery location. Thanks for the suggestions! Joyce, I'd be interested to hear about those records. Does anyone know if the Earl of Breadalbane's 1769 survey is online?

Hi Nathalie, I found 'Lurg" on the map I have here - James Stobie's 1805 map of Perthshire and Clackmannan. This map and an earlier 1783 Stobie of Perthshire are online at the National Library of Scotland. http://nls.uk go to 'digital maps', select 'county maps', select 'perthshire', scroll down to 1783 James Stobie 'the counties of Perth and Clackmannan' Four small maps, select the top left map, look for Loch Tay - bottom right corner - just below the "T" in Loch Tay, look for Milltown (that's' Ardtalnaig), follow the stream south to 'Kindrochet' and 'Lurg'. Regarding the 1769 Lochtay side Survey - I viewed a copy at the Tay Valley History Society in Dundee. Try a search at the National archives of Scotland website. Survey of Lochtay side 1769 John Farquharson, surveyor Publisher: The Scottish Historical Society, 1836 Good luck!
