Not in Black Isle! People certainly did move between these two parishes. Contin was on the route to the lowlands of Ross-shire. There was a fair at the place of Contin which Lochbroom people resorted to. The Mackenzies of Coul, whose seat was near to place of Contin, also owned Inverlael in the parish of Lochbroom. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Murray Shannon [mailto:ranamf@nex.net.au] Sent: 13 April 2005 08:29 To: ROSSGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [RossGen] Query re Areas Need to find out where the Black Isle is in Ross and Cromarty. How close are Contin and Lochbroom to each other? Is it possible that these are in the same area covered by the Black Isle. Assistance will be greatly appreciated.
