Some baptism records say >Kerrera, some say something that looks like Slatrach.

Canada, researching McIntosh, Lyall, Love, >Sievewright, McKinnon, McDougall in Scotland There are no towns on Kerrera. That is the name of a farm on the east side of the island, on Slatrach Bay, looking towards Mull, absolutely stunning sunsets and wonderful scenery. A diving map gives an idea of the position, http://www.scubahistory.com/touchscotland/kerrara.html You need to get your hands on the OS MAP Landranger 49 for a better idea of how the land lies. Slàinte, -- Lachie Macquarie. Well it looks like rain and I hear a train, But I'm not going to cry.
