    3. Dear List Query regarding Balimore, Kilmichael. Thanks once again, Les, for answering my query. The maps you have access to are a wonderful resource and very helpful in family history research. I am aware of Allan Begg's books. Allan does not mention Balimore, Kilmichael, in his 'Deserted Settlements of Glassary Parish' which suggests that Balimore was not a compact village. The lands belonging to the farm of Balimore would have had a scattering of dwellings. Balimore, Kilmichael, is still a working farm today and the farmer owns lands which stretch as far as Kilmichael Church. The List of Fencible Men, 1692, gives 8 names at 'Ballimoir Kilmichell', (4 of these are called Stinson/Stevenson) and 12 men are listed at 'Kilmichell'. I do not have access to the Glassary census for 1841. It only remains for me to say - Bliadhna Mhath Ur dhuibh uile Jean MacLeod
